l'Italia è numero uno!!!

I now know how many Italians live in Astoria...

A whole lot! After Italy won the World Cup I went up to the main intersection of Ditmars and 31st where I witnessed pure pandamonium. The intersection was all jammed up with cars full of people waving Italian flags and honking their horns. Some cars had 10-12 people in them, with people sitting on the hoods and hanging out of windows. It was all quite fun until the cops showed up and decided to rain on the parade by regulating the traffic flow and yelling at people who were hanging out of windows. By the time things cleared up, there were at least 20-30 cops hanging around the block. They still didn't stop the Italian party, as they were driving all over Astoria honking and cheering! Even I feel like an Italian now!!!





These guys stopped their car in the middle of the intersection and jumped on the roof!!


Pigs breaking up the party:
