Reflect on the experience of walking through the four neighborhoods we have so far. Respond to the following questions:
1. What can we learn from all of these images? 2. What are your initial thoughts from walking through these different neighborhoods? Be specific and connect to class readings and discussions. 3. Where do you want to go from here? 4. What questions could we research/investigate further?

1. From these images I am able to infer that these this doesn't that these are not homes that are located in a heavily urbanized area. The images provide singular family homes, there are not really apartment buildings in this specific area.

3. For example in predominantly African American neighborhoods there are liquor stores, Chinese restaurants and 99 cent stores or stores that sell goods at a low price. I noticed how in Park Slope there were stores such as Häagen-Dazs and gelato shops. Those stores are not as prevalent in more diverse neighborhoods.

Walking through the different neighborhoods has attest to all the diversity than can be seen in life. Being in different areas of Brooklyn you have seen different races, religions, and types of living styles. In the Flat-bush/Junction area, it is really mixed, you can see blacks and Caucasians integrating. The businesses around are geared towards food and appealing to the type of people that you can find. These people are college students and faculty who are usually looking for a quick snack in between classes; something on the go.

1.looking at these pictures, i realize the true meaning of social class. Minorities live in a compact and clustered community, where as wealthy people lives in a spacious environment that is constantly up to date.

1. We can learn from all these images the level of diversity. In addition we can learn about the culture in other neighborhoods along with hidden beautiful advantages or arts.

From these images we can learn about the inequality in different neighborhoods. While walking through certain neighborhoods i was very intrigued to see how nice they were and i was surprised that we were still in Brooklyn. There were a lot of big houses, large green trees, clean sidewalks and bikes everywhere. I'm not sure where we can go from here but i believe we should use our pictures to share the things we discovered somehow.

Walking through these four neighborhoods opened my eyes to the conditions of those who live in neighborhoods outside of mine. I live in East Flatbush however I am often in the lower east side of Manhattan and on flatbush junction. So I had a pretty basic understanding of the different environments in each neighborhood but it was still nice to explore them.

We can learn the evolution of the communities from the buildings, houses, train stations and etc. For example, in my community we are constantly upgrading the buildings, planting new trees, renovating apartments and making new parks.

While taking trips through four different neighborhoods I've realized how segregated we are as a community. From project buildings to brownstones, I also realized the gentrification taking place throughout all of Brooklyn. During the trips we got the chance to document what we experienced through pictures. What I've learned from examining these pictures is that areas like Park Slope are being gentrified in the simplest ways. Young Black women were nannies for white babies, White women were riding their bicycles and enjoying lunch in small cafes. (Incomplete)
