Electchester Getting Less Electrical; Queens Co-op for Trade Workers Slowly Departs From Its Roots
By: David W. Chen, 2004, March 15

This article tells all about how the area that I live in, Electchester, was made specifically for electricians. It talks about how over the years it went from a very exclusive neighborhood, to a neighborhood where anyone of any profession could live in. There is still a very strong population of electricians, but now, there are people who live here who don't even know that the union building for electricians is up the block. The article also tells the demographics of the neighborhood, which tells everyone that my neighborhood is made up of mostly white people, and there is also a very strong population of elderly people. Today, rent is almost double the $475 that people use to pay when the neighborhood was first developed.
