rockaway

Hughes, a middle-age black man from Far Rockaway in Queens, has never been a part of any protests himself but supports them.

The annual battle to build the most outrageously creative sand castle was held on Rockaway Beach in Queens on Friday.

He spoke as if he lived in Rockaway as he suggested that Hurricane Sandy was something that the leaders should have anticipated.

He has often acknowledged that the Rockaway vote was what put him in Congress in the first place.

And with all of this comes a feeling that Rockaway is too often forgotten.

His wife stood smiling and waving, the boys shouting, as he disappeared in the old rockaway down the sandy road.

Suddenly, as they were looking at the largest hotel of all, the one at Rockaway Beach, the steamer stopped.

The famous resorts of Rockaway and Coney Island are reached in from one to two hours by steamer.

A two-horse rockaway hove in sight, drew up and stopped at the outer limits of the Courthouse yard.

Many business men would go to the city driving a rockaway with a single horse.
