Introduction

I live in Rego park it is part of the NEW YORK city borough of QUEENS. The neighbohood North boundary is Elmhurst and Corona, the east and south
is Forest Hills and the west is the Middle village. This area has a huge nember of jewish population, most of them are jewish immigrants who came from Russia , Israil ,
Romania , Iran and Albania. The name "Rego Park" came from the REal GOod Construction Company, which began development of the area in the mid of 1920's,
starting with eight-room houses costing $8,000 each, stores were built in 1926 on Queens blvd and 63rd drive and apartment buildings were built in 1927 and
1928.Queens Center Mall opened in 1972, the boroughs largest shopping center is a few blocks away from my house,which include some of queens most
popular shopping department stores such as macy's , jcpenny and sears. This mall gives a nice view for the area but it makes the area too crawded and noisy by people
and cars during the day time and the weekends.Queens mall affect Rego Park, it became a big shopping district and the busiest area in Queens. It affect the whole
neighborhood statistics,such as the population, real state prices, transportation and the unemployment rate in Rego Park .
