Habitat 7

Like river valleys that flowed through and gave birth to early civilizations, the IRT 7 Train of the New York City Subway system serves as the conduit that connects many ethnically diverse neighborhoods in northwest Queens to the heart of Manhattan. While I’ve been living along the “International Express” for years, I am still constantly awed by the complexity of the communities formed alongside it as well as the harmonious co-existence of so many people of distinct ethnic back grounds are able to live in. I’ve come to see the 7 Train as a habitat of these immigrant settlers who pursue the typical
“American dream” while upholding their ethnic traditions.
