Grand Concourse Tour

I thought the walking tour of the concourse was really interesting.  My best friend literally lives right off of the concourse on 165th so I knew my way around the neighborhood although not much about its history.  The Joyce Kilmer Park stop of the tour was the most interesting part to me because that was where my friends and I took our prom photos before we went to the actual location of prom in Midtown.  We took our photos right in front of the Heinrich Heine fountain.  It was interesting to actually learn about the history statue.  Without having gone on the tour, I would’ve just taken the fountain for granted, thinking “Oh, it’s just there.”  But now, when I visit my best friend and we walk past or through the park I can tell her what I know about the fountain :)
