Flushing Mall(Build after 1950)


Flushing Mall opened in December 2000; it is located at 133-31 39th Avenue between College Point Blvd and Prince Street. It is an indoor style and two story mall. It attracts more Chinese and Korean customers to shop inside.

In the mall, as I took the picture and walked into the main entrance, I saw many flags hanging around on the top of my head. It seemed to tell me that this mall is build for every ethnical group of the people and welcome the growth of the diversity in Flushing neighborhood. I usually shop with my friends in the mall. There are lots of small shops to sell everything, such as fashion shoes, fashion jewelry, toys, and handmade artifacts, etc. They both sell in the reasonable price. Although there are only two floors inside of building, but this mall also provides many Asian food, such as Korean snacks, dumplings, noodle, sushi, etc. I guess why they provide a lot of that kind of foods because Chinese and Korean are big population in Flushing. However, if you want to explore the Asian and don’t want to go to far, just come into Flushing Mall, it is one stop and shop all in Asian style goods.

Besides the commercial reason that mall provides for customers, it also provides the local community activities in the mall. Usually in the weekend, the mall hosts a wide variety of community, civic and cultural events. People would usually have fun inside during the weekend and socialize with neighbors in community.
