You know what it reminds me of, of how, things like this remind me of how ultimately arbitrary, uh, and it's all just about who was first to market, you know? Who comes up with a name and it just kind of sticks.
Noel BrownHOST
Uh, there is a, a neighborhood in Queens, um, in New York where I spent a lot of time called Rego Park, and it is named after the construction company that started developing it, developing it in the 1920s called The Real Good Construction Company.

Bhaskar SunkaraGUEST
But I think that a lot of the undermining of social democracy in these countries and a lot of the, the reduction in its popularity had less to do with the mass immigration factor, and that was more a response to the background conditions that were already cau- causing that, that erosion of support.

Joel DinersteinGUEST
Like, why did we leave? So literally, I graduated high school.
Joel DinersteinGUEST
We moved to Rego Park, Queens, and I look back at the neighborhood.
Joel DinersteinGUEST
This is a literal story at my block from when I went to the subway and I asked two questions.
Joel DinersteinGUEST
What happened here and why doesn't anyone talk about it? Both were questions about race.

Jason and Rego Park, you're on WNYC.

Can you do it in about 30 seconds, Jason? Hi.
JasonAUDIENCE
Yeah, I used to work in city government.
Brett LavenderGUEST
So that was the other role model in my life that was-- that would have been a male role model, and he was gone when I was two weeks old.
Brett LavenderGUEST
When I was six years old, my family and I, my mother and father and I were living in Rego Park, New York, and we had just moved to a wealthy suburb of Philadelphia called Penn Valley.
Brett LavenderGUEST
And just after my sixth birthday on Halloween night, my father was found a mile from our home in his car with a bullet through his right temple.
Rebecca WhitmanHOST
Oh.
Peter SchragerHOST
I grew up listening to Ira from Staten Island call about the Jets.
Peter SchragerHOST
I used to obviously hear Jerome from Manhattan, Doris from Rego Park.
Peter SchragerHOST
The local callers were everything, and they were almost these comforting voices of, when your team would perform like the Titans perform.
Peter SchragerHOST
The irony of it is Joe Benningo was that guy in New York and he started off as a caller and he would always call on Mike and the Mad Dog and just lament the Jets.
Walter SterlingHOST
How could anybody hate those women? How could anybody hate those people and go into a synagogue and stab somebody and pull out a gun? I can't even imagine the hatred in somebody's heart that would allow them to do that or think that this was in some way a heroic thing.
Walter SterlingHOST
But there it is, high holy days, and again, a man walked into a synagogue, Rego Park, stabbed somebody in the synagogue.
Walter SterlingHOST
What? What? And 99% of the time we find out who commits the mass murders and who commits these random horrible acts.
Walter SterlingHOST
It's not an African-American.
