There's fast food joints, sushi restaurants, bodegas and crap just like any other downtown. I have no idea why people are trying to turn this into some kind of holy shrine. Build the damn mosque already, just like the million others in NYC.

I don't know bud. I was in lower Manhattan March 28th. I just buried my father in Flushing Cemetery Flushing NY. It was clean and a cop on every corner. There was no horn honking every two seconds. My kids even commented on the cleanliness. Sure, build the mosque but do it somewhere else. Try Harlem! That neighborhood could use a boost.

Your funny...."a swarthy vaguely middle eastern guy"...not stereotyping are ya?
