Introduction

The purpose of this site (at present, I believe that all writing is an evolving process) is threefold:

First, to flesh out my experience of living in 1990 Lexington Avenue for two years.
Second, to tie this experience in with the experience of others, in order to chronicle some of the gentrification that is pouring across the streets of Harlem during the mid 2000s.

Third, to archive some of my own personal experiences in an effort to lay the groundwork for a more grandiose project.

Welcome all! I hope you find this site informative, useful for your own personal interests and even controversial.
