reflection.\u00a0\u00a0 And what better place to reflect on than our beloved Harlem.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>HarlemCondoLife&#8217;s\u00a0mission has been to chronicle all that&#8217;s great about Harlem.\u00a0 And we&#8217;ve uncovered an incredible and innovative way of doing so.\u00a0 It&#8217;s called InvincibleCities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The site speaks for itself.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But in a nutshell, it uses photography and technology to chronicle changes\u00a0of several urban landscapes.\u00a0 One such landscape is Harlem.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I did was check out my block to see what it looked like and compared it to what is there today.\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0\u00a0 I&#8217;ve spent hours examining Harlem then and now through the lens of artist\u00a0<span style=\"font-family:Times-Roman;\">Camilo Jose Vergara.\u00a0 My favorite so far has been examining locations that today have been transformed by new real estate projects, including Frederick Douglass Boulevard, between 110th and 125th, which many consider the &#8220;Gateway to Harlem&#8221;.<\/span><span style=\"font-family:Times-Roman;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How to use the site:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Goto
