Harlem at night... I took this one from the window of the Magic Johnson movie theater in Harlem. I went to see a movie with Duke to help him relax for the big test tomorrow. He, and the rest of NYS's 3rd and 4th graders, will be taking Day ONE of the English Language Arts Assessment.
It's crazy how this testing stuff has gotten so out of control. The stakes keep getting higher and the anxiety of testing keeps crawling down the elementary grades. Soon our Kidergarteners are going to be required to write a five paragraph expository essay explaining the life-cycle of a butterfly or something ridiculous like that.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite views:
1) because 125th st is a busy, fast-paced place with lots to see and buy; and
2) Of course, because the Apollo is there.
Harlem reminds me of simpler days as a college student at CCNY.
