Community and You

1. New York City
2. 59th St & 5th Avenue
3. Fordham Road
4. Crotona Park
5. Union Square
6. Washington Heights

Crotona Park
This community matters to me because it is the community that I live in. My family has lived there for 10 years but I personally have lived there for 8 years. Even though I still do not know many people in the area, I play many sports with people that go to the park and I participate in the community service activities in the area. These activities include cleaning the park, planting trees and even hosting barbecues. more middle class people are starting to move into the area and that is causing tension with the people that already live there.

59th St & 5th
This community matters to me because it is the community I work in. It is a very busy street because it has many places to shop and many more tourists. I work at the Hollister on 5th Ave that opened recently. I get to work with many new workers and I also get to talk to many of the tourists and assist them in and out the store. I don't see many tensions in the area because not many people actually live there. The only places people live is in the hotels in the area
