Cecile and I arrived at Jackson Heights last December 27, 2007, just a few days before the start of the new year. And we would be celebrating New Year in Jackson Heights.
We had stayed with Renelle at Demarest, New Jersey for the Christmas “noche buena” where we met Renee, the Italian-American wife of Ben (my cousin) and also John (new friend of Renelle).
Our stay in New Jersey was also highlighted by the 1st ever NBA basketball game we watched. Patrick went along with us for this Pistons vs. Nets game. Tickets courtesy of Renelle. Thanks Ding-ding!
Now, we are in Jackson Heights, where the buildings are formerly for military housing. Olwen showed us the entrance to the bunkers. Now, that is why there is a basement in the buildings. And Logan greets us everyday!
This neighborhood is a green neighborhood with a lot of small gardens located within the compounds. But with the cold winter weather, we didn’t really get to appreciate the green.
