Jack Eichenbaum was born in Flushing and raised in Queens, leaving the area in 1963. He lived in four other states and three other countries before returning to NYC in 1976. Since 1978 he has lived in Central Flushing, inductively studying the cultural transformation of this neighborhood on a daily basis! For more than twenty years he developed models of property value for the NYC Dept of Finance.
He teaches “Geography of NYC” at Hunter/CUNY and “Changing Neighborhoods of Queens” at Queens/CUNY and conducts walking tours through most of the ethnic neighborhoods of Queens. Tours have been sponsored by the Queensborough Public Library, Queens Historical Society, La Guardia Community College, Municipal Art Society, Center for the Urban Environment, NYU, Columbia University, etc.
His Ph.D dissertation, entitled “Magic, Mobility and Minorities in the Urban Drama,” was a critical review of migration theory and urban theory and an empirical study of the dissolution of a multi-ethnic neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan.
