Unit 3 Final Project (Transportation and getting around)


Back uptown where are live in 155 there alot to talk about like the people and their culture. But i like i there because you always see people out side and there always someone to recognize you and ask you how you doing and tell you any new about the reunion the projects be making because they are always changing rules in which i like all of them. On of the thing i give credit to the people who live there is that if someone past aways they always hang a flier letting people know where the funeral is and etc... The place has a history itself  can you believe that where 3 projects are standing there us to be a stadium there in which willy maze played baseball i was told this information by willy maze him self when he made a visit to my middle school p.s46m which located in the same block for more information about his visit please go to http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/01/21/willie-mays-talks-to-students-at-polo-grounds-site/ .In 155 8th ave there alot of thing to see and do we have park , fast food places and more. But also there are lots of way to get around because we have several train station, bus stop, and taxi all close to each other. In 304 west of 155th street is where everything is located is like the end of the block in the corner we can find supermarket, deli,pizza place,laundry mat, and store which is all close to the c train station because the c train station you have to walk up the step to get to 155 and broadway every time the b line train is full i go take the c because less people plus it take me to my school stop.
Once you come out the train station there is always a ice cream truck in the summer also the yogi bear truck goes their every friday because their alway little kids out with their parents in the park which is called Rucker Park which lot of event happen their like basketball game. We have more parks but Rucker park is the one the everyone likes because it has a basketball, baseball and tennis court it also have swing for big kids and little once too .

Leisure Time (reflection)

Today i read this article called Teenagers Turning Restaurants Into The Cool New Hangout Spots As Malls Die Off here the link if your interested in reading it . http://consumerist.com/2014/04/11/teenagers-turning-restaurants-into-the-cool-new-hangout-spots-as-malls-die-off/


When i read the article i found it kinda of ironic because i also hang out with my friend in restaurant specially McDonald's. The article talk about how teens had stop hanging out at the malls and started to spend more time in restaurants also that teens are spending more money on food then clothes. I agree with what the article say teens do tend to be more in a restaurants then any other place , why? well they are many reasons for them to do so . But i agree because i myself have spend most time with my friends at a restaurants and FYI we love going to McDonald's why because one i love the milkshake and 2 because it's just a fun place to hang out they have bathroom there which if an emergency also if its raining or its cooled you don't need to worry about that but those are just my reasons other people my think different .What i don't agree it that teen start problems there well it can be true but is not all true one thing i dislike about society is that just because a one teen started problems at restaurants they make it seem that all teens are doing that and it's not true some teen just want to grab a bite and just talk with their friends . I believe that people should not concern about what teen are doing because it's good that we choose to stop hanging out at the mall cause think about all the thing that could go wrong their .

Leisure Time


My life is practically full of things to do but when i actually have time to myself i like to go to the movies if not go to McDonald's which I'm in love with their milkshakes , But i also like reading books about teenage life i don't know why maybe because I'm a teenager and I'm basically going threw thing that happen in those books about crush , best-friends problem and etc.. and i enjoy reading thing like that cause it's always have a happy ending . Other then those thing i also spend time with my friends and family and go to the park have picnic and just enjoy because including myself there are very few time when we can do thing we like.
