Living in Flatbush, I’ve learned what’s it like to live in a colored community full of people of my own.  It is important to know more in-depth about my community and looking forward to doing this project. Coming here at the age of 10 the neighbor was very different compared to today as many renovations have been done to make this community better. To begin with, the block of 32nd street in which I live in. There has been massive change as many of the houses are being knocked down and turn into buildings. The community is becoming more and more crowded as these houses are becoming buildings. To continue, there has been almost 7 years ago on the corner of Nostrand, a big target accompanied with other stores such as Applebees, Payless, children’s place… were added. This was a very big change to the community of Flatbush as many stores began to open around the community which is attracting others to come live around here. As I’ve been living here for 8 years now, I experienced much change to make this community better and more welcoming to others. In this project, I want to identify the change that has been happening in recent years specifically the new constructions that have been occurring in the neighborhood. Specifically, the transitions of houses to buildings and also the opening of new stores that are attracting people to come to live in this community. Hopefully, throughout this project, I can get to identify why this significant change and how is affecting the community that has been here before all these changes. https://blogs.baruch.cuny.edu/landlinguistic/wp-admin/post.php?post=4&action=trash&_wpnonce=137ebb8f9a
