Reseña del libro "1800 Story Ave (Paperback) (en Inglés)"
Monroe Projects, 1800 Story Ave... Man, where can I even begin to describe my old building of more than 20 years? Hmm, how about a ghetto, low income, poverty stricken, housing complex, located in the Soundview section of The South Bronx in New York City. A place where the 43rd precinct is located almost across the street, yet there are still very high levels of crime in the immediate area! Under my building, you might've seen a few drug sales, shoot outs, a fight, a block party, children playing, etc, all of which, whether positive or negative, were a part of the daily life in the hood. If you're not from an environment such as this, you may not understand all of the dynamics that go into just trying to survive on a daily basis, but the reality is those of us that are from there now or came from there know what that story is like first hand.
