Everyone has there own New York. New York is made up of so many different cultures and over time new tok keeps expqndind and changing. Just like colsen white head explain his new York. His new York is way different than mine New York, your new York and from everyone else’s. He explain how his new York changed a lot. Golden whitehead accepts his new York and thinks his new York is more real than the new York now. New York has so many places to go that I probably never been to. But just looking at one thing and another and trying to put them next to each other may give me a different view of things and how new York was like before.
In my justaposition I see what use to be a very old bank that is now a food market. As I walk into that place once I can still see the image of a bank in there. The ceilng, the light and the way it was structured into a bank is still the same. wayeveb on the outside of the food market it still looks the same. But people decided to close the bank and make it into a market. Which means that what was there before is no longer there. even just look around the area does not seem so busy as when you walk down Fulton street. It’s more of a non busy street compared to Fulton. Just to relate to what golden white head said ” we can never say a proper goodbye”. ” I never got a chance to say goodbye to some of my old buildings”. New York changes you can never know when something is gone untill you see it’s no longer there. I think of it like me going to city tech now will always be there until I graduate and even after I leave. But lets say years from now its no longer there it’s something else than city tech. What use to be there now has changed to something else completely.
Now when you walk to the corner it used to be a bank it seems like the place has become more of a business area. There’s a big market on the corner then there’s other business next to it going all the way down to Fulton street. It’s like the area has gotten a little more busier and more people working in the area. In some way it expanded more into a commericial area. Just like when colsen whitehead said ” your favorite newsstands, restaurant, movie theater, subway stations and barbershops are replaced by your next neighborhood’s favorite”. More people coming into new York the more culture and more of a variety and there will affect the area around it too. It was a non busy area that now became more busy because of all the business around and more people working in the area too. It feels like it grew in such little time. It’s like your gone for a while then all of a sudden when you return everything looks different and changed a lot.
But colsen whitehead’s new York is sort of different to the new York now. Like the way he described his new York seems like new York changed a lot. Like how he used to call the MetLife building the Pan Amma building. But now its considered the Met life building. Just like I still thought that the market still is a bank to me. But now its a market. There’s not much of a difference with the building it self but what the company was changed to something else. Which is kind of hard to believe that a bank rhatvwas therebyears ago is now turned into a food market. Like when it was under construction someone could’ve thought it was going to be a new look of the bank but its now a trader’s Joe. But even walking around the area like around court street it seems like There’s a different at one point. Like when I was walking around in the neighborhood there was some houses and it seem more quite but as I was walking back it seemed a little bit noisier, busier, and more crowded. For some reason I felt like I was in Manhattan walking on 14th street. But it was actuallyin Brooklyn on court street. I think of it as new York will never look the same. What is there now won’t last for a long time. But overall new York will always keep growing and have a new look.
New York is a place that will always keepp changing. The more people coming in the more of new York will expanded into different ideas and old building being replaced by new ones. But your own New York will always be different from someone else’s new York.Just like Whitehead his new York is different from someone who just comes to visit new York like a tourist. But generally talking about a juxtaposition from someone else’s justapostion is different. The way someone can view it may have a different view than what others might see. And even though you live in New York not everyone know everything about new York. There could’ve been places I never been to that someone elsse been too before. But because new York is so big there is so much to learn and experience new things. New York will always continue to grow and change.
