After reading Alfred Kenzins, “A walker in the City” I have noticed many things that has changed in my neighborhood in the past few years. I have to say that it looks different in many ways compared to how it looked before. However, unlike Brownsville, my neighborhood things have changed for the better. Even five years ago people used to say that this is not a very good neighborhood to live in. The crime rate in this neighborhood was high and people did not want to live here. But now slowly but surely it has been changing for the better. More houses and apartment buildings have been built. There are many more stores that moved into the neighborhood.

Although, where I live is very close to Manhattan but to me there is something different about The Bronx, that makes me feel at home. There are unique things that this borough is known for. It is a huge part of the culture in New York City. It is also known for the many celebrities birth place; such as Jennifer Lopez, Tracy Morgan, Cuban Gooding Jr. , Kerry Washington and many more.
