And now for something completely different!

Thought I would do a series of these tiles that I found at the local 207th st subway station near the elevator...written by people who lived at Inwood, about the area, and the history of the area.
They are largely self explanatory!

Very interesting tiles. I'd never heard of this park. I need to see it when I go to visit my son.

Thanks for posting!

Sorry to hear about your having to leave the farm...I was just reading your blog, and have been wondering if that was on your mind. I hope you get to visit Inwood one day...now I am not sure that my first comment to you got posted here, but the easiest way to get to Inwood is to catch either the A train..and get off at the last stop 207th st, or the no 1 train, which goes thru to the Bronx,...and get off at the 207th st stop also...!

ps ...Inwood is right at the top of Manhattan Island before you fall into the Harlem River!!

Annie (again) ;-)

pps I am going to be here till late August if you happen to visit before that, I could meet you at the corner of the park! Let me know, I would love to meet you...yours is the first blog I ever started reading..and I enjoy it soo much!

And as you said I am sure your story will have a silver lining!

What loving insights and inscriptions to their neighbourhoods, and a real sadness that some may be pushed out by increasing rents.

The last one by Andrew Gomez is the best, for me.
