My Last Big Fling Of Summer

Well, summer is ending and I didn't get to do everything I planned, but I did do a lot of those things.

I finally made my walking tour of Harlem. Years ago, I could never have done this. While I attended CCNY in the middle of this area, I went to school and came home with no neighborhood excursions. Now, anyone can walk anywhere in this beautiful neighborhood.


The next few pictures are of my beloved school--CCNY. I did both under graduate, graduate and post graduate work here. I got a great education and I still marvel at the old buildings. Unfortunately, some are gone but the school has been modernized and it's prestige is returning.








St Nicholas Terrace, a fantastic park that I saw for the first time. The sad thing is that it is almost on CCNY campus.

Abyssinian Baptist Church


Part of Abyssinian house across the street.
I found this Jewish star in the window of an old church.
