I like how it turned out honestly. It's a mix of everybody living together now, no matter the race or tax bracket. And it's safer than it's ever been. It backfired on the original gentrification plan, in a good way.
I didn't really deal with the west side (Clinton's side) too much. Can't speak too much about it other than I use to frequent the Allah school in mecca as a teen.

After that e.116th & Lexington Ave place I found a store on w.125th Street and went there until it got raided. LOL Ahh good times! You used to walk in, ask to use the bathroom, then a secret door what open next to the sink and you would put your money in and the weed would come out in little glass jars. It was so James Bond! Crazy.
I should check out the east side (Spanish Harlem). It's been years since I've been up that way. Being a mix sounds like a cool area now.
