2nd Ave. and 4th St.

During the exploration of my block, i noticed that the streets were quiet, empty, and didn't feel like i was standing in one of the busiest cities in the world. The apartments were short and all made up of warm red and brown bricks with large black metal balconies on the outsides. Small groups of people quietly roamed around. Tons of bikes were chained up to the trees that blocked almost all the sun.  Young children rode their bikes up and down the streets, mothers talked about their nannies and future vacations. A man walking his dog, explained to me his life growing up on that street, How he loved it and learned to be aware of his surroundings. Just from observing, and talking to the people who know and live there i learned a lot about the area.
