What do you guys think?

I can make something similar for Chinatown, and format them together.

Beverley Road

The neighborhood of Beverley road is one of the oldest populated areas in all of Brooklyn. The original train station was constructed in 1907 along the BMT line. In the early nineteenth century the area was populated by a combination of Italian and Polish immigrants, as evidence points to Roman Catholic churches in the neighborhood. The area retains its Catholic churches, however most of the patrons now are of West Indian decent. The neighborhood itself is primarily residential, but has a commercial distract running adjacent to Flatbush Avenue.

Eminent Domain

“The menace of the slums” was “a matter of far-reaching public concern.” This civil court case in 1936 allowed for the WPA and NYCHA to use eminent domain to forever change the urban landscape of the city.

A little extra photo taking I did.

These are some photos I took at Art Basel In Miami.

Kehinde Wiley's "Equestrian Portrait of King Philip II"

and the second picture I can't remember the artist but it is definitely from the same gallery.

Music is in the air!
