Constructor's Note
Pushing the envelope here — in size and constructing entirely on a phone! (What’s the ratio of characters in the clues to the grid?) Photo from Darrylsnow on Wikimedia Commons.

        Yes, that was a bit regional… (I got so attached to BAO that I tried to make it work.) Clearly didn’t slow you down much!

        it's great to be reminded of BAO! had CHI instead of QIS since i misread the clue, so that caused a bit of confusion before everything got fixed haha

          It really was so good! (And “Turning Red” too!)

              Sorry, sort of an editing typo in my post above. I meant our original family from France landed in New York, (then New Amsterdam) in the 1650s,

                Well, my grandparents were born and raised in New York, but they married and moved to California in 1902 After our original family settled there back in the 1650s. Have I ever been in New York? No. Did I have the foggiest clue what the answer to 1A was? No! Fascinating that it's the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. Thanks for a great puzzle!

                  Wow! That’s amazing that you know your family’s history so far back. Glad you enjoyed — and thanks for solving, and for sharing!
