NEIGHBORHOOD
COMPRISED OF WINDING STREETS and low-rise homes with backyards,
Corona has undergone a major population shift in recent years. Decades
ago, this area in northern Queens was home to Polish and German
immigrants, and a few Puerto Ricans. Now, as waves of Colombians,
Ecuadorians and Dominicans have settled in the area, Corona is a
barrio latino, or Hispanic neighborhood. Vendors sell Mexican
tacos on the sidewalk, movie theaters dub American films into Spanish
and salsa music wafts into the street from record stores.
