This Project is OPEN.

Project Description

What borough and neighborhood of New York City do you live in, how would you describe it, and how is it changing? Have you lived here all your life, or did you come from far away? If you’ve lived elsewhere, would you like to describe that environment, and discuss how it differs from NYC (or how it’s similar)? What do you miss, either in the New York of the past or in the place that you came from? Click Discussion on the right, and tell the rest of us all about it!

We have tall buildings that sit so perfectly in a beautifully silhouetted skyline. We have many different cultures […] See More“Let’s hear it for New York!” Who doesn't agree that New York City is one of the greatest cities in the world? We have so much to offer in this city.
