In this episode, Nathan Short recaps "THE QUEENS NEW YORKER" podcast's first show of 2025. The original episode featured an in-depth look at Hempstead, Long Island's largest town and a fascinating piece of New York history. Learn about this massive municipality that would be New York State's second-largest city if incorporated, its Dutch and English colonial origins, and its modern-day structure of 22 villages and 38 hamlets. Reminder from Major World, a local Queens Car Dealership about an upcoming community cleanup event at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.
