    Gordon and I are both freshmen in college from Brooklyn. Gordon spoke about what Park Slope, Brooklyn is like. He described Park Slope of a neighborhood that is very familiar, in the sense that there a lot of families and children. Though neighborhoods like Park Slope feel like home and friendly sometimes these feels not might be felt in fast past places such as Manhattan. Gordon’s picture features a food truck. He stated that the guy at the food truck has friendly. The food truck itself was trying to be a neighborhood spot.

    “No cultural connection, I was just hungry.”

    “More modern is less homey”

    I interviewed Jamie, a Macaulay Honors Student at Lehman College. Walking around the Macaulay building on the upper west side, an area she is not familiar with, Jamie was struck by the sense of familiarity she had with a five story brick building on the corner of Columbus Ave and 67th street. Talking about the building, Jamie reflected on her upbringing in Sunset Park and the way her childhood neighborhood has changed over the years. She says the change is most visible in new storefronts and in the demographic of the neighborhood. She feels that the new “modern” design, increasingly present across the city, is “less homey,” but she refuses to be entirely pessimistic about the change.

    ” Since I was young, I always admired the ambition news anchors have to unlock the truth .”

    – Reuben Gampel

    I really enjoyed getting to hear about Reuben’s views on the news. The interview seemed like a natural conversation, where ideas seemed to flow between us. We both were comfortable sharing our personal experiences, which is vital to have an authentic and fruitful interview.

    “Broadway made me fall in love with New York City.”

    Kayla Brand

    It was really interesting getting to interview Kayla and hearing about her first experiences in New York City, which revolved around Broadway. As a fellow Broadway lover I found it easy to relate to her feelings about the plays she saw. Kayla made the interview very easy and laid back. The conversation was very smooth and comfortable that I felt no problem asking her questions nor any problem opening up to her when she interviewed me.

    Today I learned why Leora didn’t make an account. I also learned about what she would’ve posted had she bothered to learn to use the website. She took a picture of bikes, as the reminder of her past experience falling off of a bike evoked powerful memories and made her feel empowered.

    “I felt encouraged seeing the bikes, knowing that so many others can ride bikes without falling off.” She was then ready to get back on and try to ride once again.

    The impersonal, postmodern feeling of this truck is, in my experience, characteristic of most new “old school” spots in NYC.

    I grew up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The architecture in this image is similar to the buildings in Sunset Park. The similar architecture brings back nice memories from childhood.
