When I first bought in Harlem there was just one property on this list that I can recall, the Gateway Condominium. My slice of Harlem which is Frederick Douglass Boulevard from 110th to 125th (we called it the Gold Coast, the NY Times called it Harlem’s Restaurant Row) was just beginning an epic transformation. It was my move into the neighborhood and its transformation that prompted my fellow bloggers to partner together to create HarlemCondoLife – Your gateway to Harlem.
Today is a few days after the 7th anniversary of my first day as a Harlem resident and owner with a vested interest in this community’s future. I am happy to report how much has transpired since then.
On my way home from work last night I noticed a commotion on 113th between Frederick Douglass Boulevard (FDB) and Morningside, which is right off Harlem’s Gold Coast / Harlem’s restaurant row.
As I walked towards the source of the commotion I overheard someone say “oh no, not again, what happened?”
But as I got closer it became clear that this was not a real crime scene but a function one – confirmed by an actor posing as policeman – shot on one of my favorite side streets in NYC.
