Street,Kew Gardens,QueensIntroduction(Pas.7-9):Returning homeTwenty-eight-year-old Catherine Genovese,who was called Kitty by almost everyone in the neighborhood,was returning home from her job as manager of a bar in Hollis.She parked her red Fiat in a lot adjacent to the Kew Gardens Long Island Rail Road Station,facing Mowbray Place.Like many residents of the neighborhood,she had parked there day after day since her arrival from Connecticut a year ago,although the railroad frowns on the practice.She turned off the lights of her car,locked the door and started to walk the 100 feet to the entrance of her apartment at 82-70 Austin Street,which is in a Tudor building,with stores in the first floor and apartments on the second.The entrance to the apartment is in the rear of the building because the front is rented to retail stores.At night the quiet neighborhood is shrouded in the slumbering darkness that marks most residential areas.Catherine S.Genovese(Kitty)Austin Street,Kew
