Introduction

We took the 2 train to Church Av as we had on the neighborhood tour and conducted our research starting at 2:00 on April 5, 2008. The neighborhood was very busy and filled with people. The numbers of different types of stores were first recorded. Then our group of 4 went into different stores in the neighborhood. Most people at the time were reluctant to talk with us because of how busy it was on Saturday.
