What’s your Queens story? Join No, YOU Tell It! producers Kelly Jean Fitzsimmons, Tim Lindner, and Pichchenda Bao to discover the personal stories behind the public places we share.
Participants will use writing prompts to interact with Queens Name Explorer, an interactive digital map developed by Queens Memory. Together, we will learn the historical significance behind the people's names that grace Queens streets, parks, monuments, and more. Plus, there will be a special presentation from the Greater Astoria Historical Society.
Participants will then explore their place in Queens by picking a point on the map and trading tales of their experiences on that spot to enrich local history with our shared and unique stories.
