Walking Down Division Street
I had the chance to talk to a friend's urban photography class at the Greenpoint YMCA's PS 16 Afterschool last week and had a lot of fun. I spoke to the kids about how neighborhoods change, then we took a walk around Division Street to see how different areas of the neighborhood had been impacted by the urban renewal program the City did in the 1940s & 50s to build highways and housing projects.
A photo comparing the urban renewal area north of Division to the older buildings south of Division:
A photo of the Williamsburgh branch of the Public Library that was cantilevered over the BQE.
Cristian helped me take these photos of stores on Lee Ave:
