The "sprinkler park" on the north side, where children cool off during the summer, contains a monument to the 1904 wreck of the General Slocum when over a thousand people, mostly German women and children on a church outing, died. This effectively destroyed the German community in the area, known then as "Little Germany". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_General_Slocum

Berlin has the Volkspark in Friederichain, Manhattan has Tompkins Square Park. Its the people's park, I've also heard it refered to as Punk Park, because of some of its more colorful locals. Its become a family friendly park, but still has a few homeless and drug/alcohol addicted residents.

LIRR Hunterspoint Avenue Station,

This crumbling and dilapidated station is less then one block away from a brand new and unused station reputedly used for "cleaning" located in the grossly extravagant Hunterspoint Avenue Maintenance Base. The close proximity of the crumbling Hunterspoint station and the extravagant "cleaning" station (have you ever been on a LIRR train that isn't digusting filthy?) highlight the corruption and ineptitude of the LIRR and, it parent, the MTA.
