The State Of Flushing, NY

“People come from China, and when they look at Flushing, they say, ‘This is the way China was 15 years ago,’ ” said Michael Meyer, the president of TDC Development, a subsidiary of the F&T Group, which plans to turn that parking lot into Flushing Commons, an $820 million, 1.8 million-square-foot mixed-use development. Mr. Meyer said he hoped to break ground within a year, and he estimated that construction would take three and a half years. It is one of several major developments that promise to refashion the neighborhood’s landscape.

Yeah, right.

UPDATE:  Now that Hong Kong, part of China, has like this world's first major 3D pornographic release, Carnal Prayer Mat or something,  it definitely puts Hong Kong, by extension China, 1,000 years ahead of Flushing or most likely the entire USA.  Here over in the States, we pay $13 to watch kids cartoons (or animations?) in theaters.  The Hong Kong 3D porno flick will make James Cameron's 3D Blue Boob or otherwise known as Avatar look like a child's play.
