Queens Street Names Stories: A Name Explorer Listening Party - An Open House New York Weekend Event

Join us for a listening party featuring Queens Street Name Stories, an interactive audio map created by students of the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY in collaboration with the Queens Memory Project. Listen to stories behind local honorary place names, told through interviews with friends, family, and colleagues of local residents who had a street or other public space named after them posthumously. During Open House New York Weekend, we will bring those stories to life through a listening booth, a live oral history gathering and a mini tour. View Queens Street Names Stories at http://bit.ly/streetnamestories. Queens Street Name Stories is part of the Queens Name Explorer: http://queenslib.org/explore. This event will take place on the 34th Avenue Open Street at 34th Ave between 93rd and 94th St, Jackson Heights, NY 11372. Queens Name Explorer is funded by a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation.
