rolled over in slumber late this morn when the chorus to a song I don't barely remember running through my mind something like "Goodbye Rosie, Queen of Corona singing me and Julio down by the schoolyard" I see now the lyrics are "seeing" not "singing" The words Queen of Corona came to through clearly so I wondered what does that mean and did a search and found out that it's about Queens New York. I wondered why in the world would a song I was never a fan of come to my mind and it may be in the particular lyrics and in particular "Queen of Corona" I had no idea what that meant so I looked up the lyrics meaning. Queen of Corona is about Queens, New York. And I must admit the thought of coronavirus came to mind along with the lyrics...so maybe something to do with the Coronavirus and Queens. New York to manifest (?)... Will copy this to dreams also as this is free flowing putting it into words as it comes to me. At first I was not sure where to put this was it a precognitive type of incoming or something else but I felt led to make note of and roll over in slumber and write down "Me and Julio" and "Queen of Corona". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.tripsavvy.com/who-is-the-queen-of-corona-2818816 Me, Julio and the Queen of Corona Corona is a New York neighborhood with a Spanish heart BY JOHN ROLEKE Updated 06/26/19 Even if you've never been to Queens, New York, you probably have heard of Rosie, the queen of Corona. She plays a prominent role in Paul Simon song "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard." Simon said the song, released in 1972, was "pure confection" and had no meaning to real people or events. It's just a catchy tune, and he said he got a laugh out of singing the lyrics. In other words, there is no Queen Rosie. She's a queen only in song. Simon grew up in Queens and said using the name "Julio" sounded "like a typical neighborhood kid." That name would be especially typical in the Corona neighborhood of Queens, which The New York Times reports have the most immigrants from Latin America in Queens. And the name of the place itself is Spanish for crown. All very fitting. Corona is New York City with a Spanish accent. You hear it on the street and read it on menus. And yes, you hear it in names that ring out on the schoolyard. How to Get There Corona is in north-central Queens, not far from Jackson Heights and Flushing. Northern Boulevard is on its northern boundary (easy to remember), with the Long Island Expressway on the south. Junction Boulevard forms the western boundary, and Corona meets Flushing Meadows-Corona Park on the east. Take the No. 7 subway, which stops at Junction Boulevard, 103rd Street-Corona Plaza and 111th Street. It takes about a half hour to get from Times Square to Corona on the No. 7. If you're driving, Grand Central Parkway and the LIE make an easy connect. The Corona Scene Corona is dominated by multifamily housing, with older two- and three-family buildings shoulder-to-shoulder amid medium- and large-size apartment buildings. LeFrak City, built in the 1960s, has 20 high-rise apartments, a pool, playground, and shops. Housing costs in Corona are relatively less expensive than other neighborhoods in Queens. |

Corona is a neighborhood in the borough of Queens in New York City. It is bordered by Flushing and Flushing Meadows–Corona Park to the east, Jackson Heights to the west, Forest Hills and Rego Park to the south, Elmhurst to the southwest, and East Elmhurst to the north. Corona's main thoroughfares include Corona Avenue, Roosevelt Avenue, Northern Boulevard, Junction Boulevard, and 108th Street. Corona has a multicultural population with a Latino majority, and is the site of historic African American and Italian American communities. After World War II, the majority of the neighborhood's residents were mostly Italian, German, Irish and of other European ancestries. Corona also has a significant Chinese population.[5] Corona is mostly part of Queens Community Board 4.[2] The section north of Roosevelt Avenue, called North Corona, is the northern section of Corona and is located in Community Board 3.[1] Corona is patrolled by the 110th and 115th Precincts of the New York City Police Department.[6] History The area was originally known as West Flushing, but real estate developer Thomas Waite Howard, who became the first postmaster in 1872,[7] petitioned to have the post office name changed to Corona in 1870, suggesting that it was the "crown of Queens County."[8] Another theory is that the name Corona derives from the crown used as an emblem by the Crown Building Company, which is said to have developed the area. The Italian immigrants who moved into the new housing stock referred to the neighborhood by the Italian or Spanish word for "crown", or corona. misc.: The Unisphere: Symbol of Queens in Flushing Meadows, Corona NYC https://www.tripsavvy.com/unisphere-of-flushing-meadows-park-ny-2818805 https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/unisphere-america-dawn-space-age-180963244/ |
