Peopling of NYC - Q train stop http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/taxonomy/term/43/0 en Avenue J http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/avenuej <p class="MsoNormal"><img style="width: 511px; height: 381px;" alt="" src="/seminars/brooks10/sites/default/files/DSCN1673.JPG" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><img style="width: 505px; height: 378px;" alt="" src="/seminars/brooks10/sites/default/files/DSCN1664.JPG" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Upon getting off the Q on Avenue J, we could already smell the sensational aroma of pizza with a hint of bakery cupcakes. We walked about five blocks total on J and could count one pizza store on each of the five blocks, not to mention the bakeries, candy stores, and ice cream trucks.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/avenuej" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/avenuej#comments Q train stop Fri, 07 May 2010 02:47:39 +0000 Jonathan You 332 at http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10 About the Q Train Project http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/294 <p>Our collaborative website project features the two communities of Chinatown in Manhattan and Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, as well as the Q train subway that connects the two. At&nbsp;first glance, it seems as if Chinatown and Brighton Beach could not be any more different. A stretch of ocean separates the two areas, with Chinatown at the southern tip of Manhattan and Brighton Beach at the bottom of Brooklyn. Chinatown is a tourist destination for those visiting New York City for the first time.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/294" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Brighton Beach Chinatown Q train stop Wed, 05 May 2010 18:54:01 +0000 Professor Brooks 294 at http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10 Ave H http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/avenueh <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Before we got off at the Avenue H train station, we expected a lot of commercial stores and busy people in the street. It was totally the opposite of what we thought it would be like. There was barely anyone walking in the street, but few people hanging around the stores. However, walking few blocks away from the station was Brooklyn College, probably the only thing there was to look at. In addition, it seemed that the majority of people in the neighborhood were black and Hispanic.</span></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/avenueh" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/avenueh#comments Q train stop Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:46:47 +0000 Young Kyu Park 225 at http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10 Newkirk Ave http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/newkirk <div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Walking around the neighborhood, observing the stores, what was sold, what kind of people walked around, we noticed that it was a very culturally diverse stop.&nbsp;There was a Caribbean restaurant, Chinese restaurant, Bangladesh snack shop, Indian Restaurant, and many others. It&rsquo;s really interesting because in that Bangladesh shop, you would assume that the owner would sell goods from his native country, but after asking him, we learned the imports were from Turkey! </div><div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/newkirk" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/newkirk#comments Q train stop Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:22:05 +0000 Young Kyu Park 224 at http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10 Ocean Parkway http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/213 <p><iframe scrolling="no" height="300" frameborder="0" width="300" align="center" src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?set_id=72157623840441856"></iframe></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><center><small>Created with <a href="http://www.flickrslideshow.com">flickr slideshow</a>.</small></center></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><small>umapper link : </small></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><small>http://www.umapper.com/maps/view/id/63508/</small></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><small>Katie Pisano&amp; Dan Carabas</small></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div> http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/213#comments Q train stop Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:56:18 +0000 Katie Pisano 213 at http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10 Coney Island http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/212 <p><iframe width="300" scrolling="no" height="300" frameborder="0" align="center" src="http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?set_id=72157623715971425"></iframe></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><center><small>Created with <a href="http://www.flickrslideshow.com">flickr slideshow</a>.</small></center></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><small>Katie Pisano&amp; Dan Carabas</small></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/212" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/212#comments Q train stop Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:50:27 +0000 Katie Pisano 212 at http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10 Introduction to our class website http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/brooks10/node/202 <p>With Ke's permission, I cut and pasted part of the analytical paper she wrote (about the Wong and Orelick articles) and added some detail of my own to create an introduction to our website for outsiders trying to understand the way we've connected these two neighborhoods and the Q Train.
