About My Community-Cont'd

Harlem is a neighborhood in Manhattan that is known to have HUGE African American culture. Harlem captures the most talented and the most unique kind of people. It mostly hosts the arts such as music, painting and writing. Throughout the 20Th century Harlem serves as the key inspiration of novelist, poets, musicians and actors. Harlem is also home to a variety of different ethnics, black and white. The landscape of Harlem has changed over the years. Many more buildings have been torn down to create a home for the growing populations. The new buildings are beginning to beautify Harlem, making it look classy and sophisticated.
Harlem also has tons of stores and business that provides jobs for those who need them. It has places where you can fun such as bowling allies and basketball courts, baseball fields, gymnasiums, and famous parks. For the most part I like the fact that my community cares about the welfare of young people who want to pursue careers in the arts and it gives them a chance to have dreams.
