Steubenville's Jane Doe asked people to do something...
The Steubenville rape victim, when offered money for her legal expenses or counselling, asked that people donated to a shelter for abused women and children in her county, Madden House, instead.
Her attorney spoke in a local news article on why the family wanted this, and said they hope very much that “the attention … can help other people that have been victimized by this type of crime,” Fitzsimmons said, “and give them some strength and some assurance that people are there to help them when that happens.”

Jackson Heights
I lived in Jackson Heights, Queens, for five years. In that time, I got married, wrote my first book, and had my first baby. It’s the best neighborhood I’ve ever called home.
I took some pictures on my last day there.
82nd Street.
Note subscript numbers. Scrabble was invented here. Or the creator of Scrabble was born here. Something. Scrabble!
Cafe Uruguaya: best empanadas in the neighborhood.
The police often ride by the park so the kids can see the horses.
Speaking of the park.
A rare quiet day at the toddler playground.
Believe it.

I could live on this.
More specifically, these. With a side of tacos.
