Plans on writing. Posts that are in the works.

Hi all,

I am writing about neighborhoods right now. I'm just delving into my non-professional passion of social geography. So, I am going to write specifically about the neighborhoods in which I am working. They are West Harlem / Morningside Heights (Manhattan), Flatbush / Prospect Park South (Brooklyn), and Long Island City (Queens). I might sound a little academic at times. There are just very interesting histories that need to be included. Also, it's hard for me to use abstraction. Though I am good at abstraction, my curiousity runs too deep to limit myself.

Each of these neighborhoods I work in are in some capacity underserved. Yet, there is a charm about each of them that makes them desirable to live in.

Additionally, I still need to finish my Paris Flaneur Travel Guide. It's not a checklist of to do items, but an impression of what you might see when you go. The places I mention might be in the guide books and they might not be in the guide books. That's not the point of being a Flaneur. There are places that deserve more time, and those are the places I'd like to tell you about.

Once again, I'd like to say that this blog is more of a personal blog than a themed blog. So I will no doubt throw in some personal finds, especially now that I have a phone that makes it easy to add blog posts from anywhere.

Ciao.
