  Representative Crowley: New York: Jackson Heights
Jackson Heights is a neighborhood in northwestern Queens, bounded to the north by Astoria Boulevard, to the east by 94th Street and Junction Boulevard, to the south by Roosevelt Avenue, and to the west by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
A large number of immigrants settled in Jackson Heights in the 1980s, especially from Columbia, China, and the Dominican Republic and to a lesser extent from India, Ecuador, Korea, Guyana, Peru, Cuba, and Pakistan.
In the mid 1990s Jackson Heights was a well-maintained neighborhood with apartment buildings and expansive one-family houses.

 VIBRAHARP: MILT JACKSON - New York Times
Jackson is such a strong and individual soloist - the model for most vibraharpists during the last 35 years - that he can rise above routine pickup groups and, in his New York appearances where he could gather excellent musicians around him, he has usually been heard to excellent advantage.
Jackson is leading a quartet that gives his polished playing the setting it deserves.
Jackson's backing is Johnny O'Neal, a pianist with alert, probing ears and a lively, discerning solo style that augments Mr.

 Response to HUD Secretary Jackson’s New York Times Column on Housing Vouchers, 8/16/04
On August 6, 2004, the New York Times published an opinion column by Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson discussing the Administration’s proposal to radically alter the “Section 8” housing voucher program, which helps about two million low-income families and elderly and disabled people rent modest housing in the private market.
Analysis: Secretary Jackson appears to be basing his analysis on misleading budget authority figures for Section 8 rather than actual expenditure (or outlay) data.
Secretary Jackson’s portrayal of the Administration’s proposal as an expansion of assistance is therefore very misleading.

 CD Baby: FRANK JACKSON: New York After Dark
New York After Dark brings to light a "new" singer who has been entertaining audiences for over half a century, and fortunately whose voice still sounds like that of someone decades younger than Frank Jackson, who at this time of recording was 78.
Emphasis "his nicely understated approach, marks Jackson as a mature & thoughtful singer, his vocal sound a pleasing light baritone suggests a man perhaps in his late forties or fifties, easy to understand Jackson's popularity & anticipates his New York After Dark will spread his reputation further afield within the USA & abroad.
Jackson was determined to make this disc swing, and frequently ups the tempo of his ballads accordingly, even tossing in a bit of scat here and there.

 Jackson, Wyo. - New York Times
It’s one of Jackson’s best-known restaurants — reservations are recommended — and the menu is kept dynamic while maintaining worthy traditions; witness the inspired crispy pork shank in red chili sauce over roasted corn and fl bean salsa ($27) as a complement to the grill’s usual, and delightful, Caesar salad ($9).
Jackson is chockablock with spas, but the first, the Body Sage Day Spa at the Rusty Parrot Lodge (175 North Jackson Street, 307-733-4455; www.bodysage.com), remains a favorite, in part because of its extensive use of local herbs and minerals.
FLIGHTS into Jackson Hole are expensive hops from Chicago, Dallas, Denver or Salt Lake City, but the landing — right in the middle of Grand Teton National Park — is worth it.

Not only did I get a reply giving me advice about the sort of qualities I would need to succeed, but the next time I listened to DD's podcast (an internet sound clip) there he was talking about my email and the fact that I'd based my GCSE composition on his work.
David, who began playing the piano about six years ago after the family was given a piano, which his great-grandfather had bought with the proceeds of a win on the football pools back in 1936, became a fan of Jackson after researching jazz on the internet.
This new recording comes at a new crossroads in my life, in which the sense of tranquility and security I've experienced of late in my year-old marriage and new home have particularly informed my compositional...

 Budget Travel - Jackson, Wyo. - New York Times
On the plus side, apart from the 12-mile, $3-a-person bus ride from the town of Jackson to Teton Village, we hadn't spent a thing: Just flash your boarding pass or luggage tags on the day of your arrival, and a half-day lift ticket and ski or snowboard rental are yours, absolutely free.
But even in Jackson Hole, there are discounts to be discovered, deals to be brokered, drinks to be cadged.
The Jackson Hole Lodge is, in a way, a misnomer: A lodge it mostly ain't.

Over the past one-quarter century, Jackson Heights, a middle-class community in northern Queens, New York, has become one of the Nation's most ethnically mixed neighbor-hoods.
Little in the area's earlier history prepared it to play this role, and few of its long-term residents ever consciously chose to live in a diverse community.
Today White, Latino, and Asian, as well as middle- and working-class residents, live side by side, not always in harmony, but united in a commitment to make their neighborhood work.
