Every day I am surprised by what I see and learn living in the Big Apple. Yesterday was no exception. While surfing the internet on June 18, I came across a complimentary article in The Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/em> about Harlem, my new adopted home. I moved to Harlem a little over a year ago from Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

What I found interesting about this article is that it focused strictly on Harlem’s Frederick Douglass Blvd<\/a>. (FDB), a street I venture up and down often that starts at 110th Street and continues past 125th. I agree with what the Journal said about Frederick Douglass Blvd.: “When you walk through the neighborhood, you can find different things that you wouldn’t have ordinarily found before.” <\/em>This statement is true from my perspective.<\/p>\n

In the short, but exciting, period that I lived in Harlem so far, using the term change to describe FBD is putting it mildly. There is always something new happening on FDB. The Circle <\/a>opened up recently, two major apartment buildings have been finished since I arrived, several restaurants<\/a> are operating on or near FDB and soon this boulevard, also known as 8th Avenue, will be getting its very own beer garden<\/a>. The FDB metamorphosis continues. And witnessing it like this-and reading about it in a notable publication-makes me very happy that I get to live and experience Harlem life.<\/p>\n
