I had a day packed with errands and fun. I spend much of the afternoon with friends in The Heights. Later , I ended up at the opera (trapped between emergency doors) much later and clubbing (I know, it;s out of character)... I love the randomness of my life. In this picture you can see Duke, Kelvin, Kiara and Elijah Chewy and Ada's. The sign was created by my student Kassime, also the artist behind my Day 1 picture.

This project was a lot of fun. Some people have suggested I start over, but I still don't know if I wanna take on another year.

Thanks for watching :-)

Khiera and Brown in front of the Punch Bowl. This was our replacement "Library" after finding out Dr. Gilbert's Cafe probably closed down.

Borough Hall Station in Brooklyn on my way back from BAM. This isn't very creative, but as the last day approaches, I feel like there's so much I didn't photograph. At this point I'm pressed with time and exhaustion. I’m kind of just waiting for the final day.

This is one of my favorite Bronx buildings. It’s 1882 Grand Concourse ( located on the Concourse at East Tremont Avenue). You can only appreciate its trapezoidal beauty if you are traveling south on the on the Champs-Élysées of the Bronx. It’s especially beautiful in the golden morning sunlight, my favorite time to be a Bronx tourist. It was designed by Designed by H. I. Feldman and completed in 1914 as a high-class apartment building with the most expensive rent of the borough at the time as stated in. this NY Times article By the early 80’s the Concourse Flatiron Building had been abandoned. In ‘82 it was rehabilitated and reopened as a residence for people with low or moderate incomes.

I was really shocked to see this construction site next to my Credit Union at 179th Street and Jerome Avenue. This has been a vacant lot as long as I can remember. I'm not sure what this space is bringing to the neighborhood but it looks promising.

This is Dante. He was in my kindergarten class a few years ago. I ran into him and his family "in" Fordham Road. Dante moved and went to a new school as soon as he left my class. I was really happy to see him and of course began to scream like a mad person. I dropped my bag on the sidewalk and whipped out my camera. His parents were glad to take the picture. This was the highlight of my day :-)

I hopped in my Delorean and went back to 1982 and bought this beauty. It's a state of the art Quasar VHS camcorder. I need it to make my teacher certification video. Believe it or not, the state of New York only accepts the video in VHS format.
