My Neighborhood: I live on Fordham road, it’s in the Bronx. Fordham road is like the times square of the Bronx, it’s always busy during the day but unlike Times Square it gets quiet after business hours. During the day you can see people shopping going from store to store, then there are people who can’t keep a constant job so they get hired by the business owners to advertise for them, they’re the ones yelling “free phone” or “mega sale check it out, check it out”. You can always smell different sorts of food on Fordham, there are the halal stand, pizza shops, Chinese restaurant and etc. People who are used to living in quiet neighborhoods will have a hard time adopting to Fordham’s way of life, one can’t pass through Fordham without being shoved and pushed unintentionally by other pedestrians who are also trying to get by. Even though Fordham could get over crowded and it feels like I’m constantly dodging people when I’m just trying to get by it still feels like home.

Times Square: It’s one of the most culturally diverse place in America, you can see people from almost every culture there. It’s the most crowded place in NYC, one can find anything they desire there, cloths, jewelry, food from any culture, and entertainment. There are enormous bill boards everywhere, and some of the buildings are so tall the top isn’t even visible. Times Square is extremely secured, there is a NYPD stationed right in the middle of everything, cops are posted in every corner and there are the surveillance camera that are constantly being monitored. Times Square is always crowded and busy but at night is when it truly wakes up, all the bill boards and lights turns it’s a sight to remember.
