Harlem

September 2007

Took a few photos in Harlem.  Wasn't much that really caught my eye but we got to see a gospel church service, a black pride street parade and a whole lot of brownstone homes that the area is famous for.

Around Town

Malcolm X Boulevard

Some famous local guy.  The statue looks like a cross between a soviet era statue and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

Old Fallout Shelter

Buildings with fire escapes out the front

Local church.  Antioch was an ancient city in modern day Turkey and one of the four major cities of early Christianity - along with Jerusalem, Alexandria and Rome.  The converts in Antioch were the first to call themselves Christians. 

Antioch was also famous for a massive siege during the Crusades.

Old mews?  Love this shot.  Completely unexpected.

Brownstones
