Yet another neighborhood homicide rocks 7-train commuters, as a bakery worker in Sunnyside/Woodside gets pushed in front of an oncoming train. With two murders in as many weeks, weary locals wonder whether their honeymoon with our fair borough is over. But even as tense neighbors scream at each other in hallways about all that fucking noise they make, it's not all news of Sunnycide, here, in Sunnyside. In fact, there are positive developments. More than six months in the making, the Cheesesteak Factory has finally had its grand opening, marked by an enthusiastic free food promotion during the most gluttonous of holidays this past weekend. It'll be a slow, artery-clogged death for us Sunnysiders now, thank you very much.
