"In the summertime every year, we have the Italian festival the church and the neighborhood also has a yearly festival with the mother Saint. We also have carnivals so they block off the streets so the kids can come and enjoy themselves as well as the family people come from all over to enjoy the festivities and the neighborhood The streets are closed. There is a lot of cops in the neighborhood to make the area safe during the festivities and some move the festivities to Jefferson Park, which is only two blocks away. The neighborhood is changing for the better and it’s growing. it is a safe neighborhood to live. The people are always smiling very polite supermarkets and family owned. Restaurants are very lively at night time. The food is great. Everything is close by the transit MTA and the neighborhood is really quiet at night. nice place to live great neighborhood. what I also love about is that no one hangs out in front of the buildings no one is cooking out. The building is a very quiet. Everyone is respectful to each other’s neighbors because it’s a working community. and for the past couple of years, the neighborhood has been really safe and you can always find parking in the street whether it’s in your neighborhood on the same block or whether it’s on another avenue or even two blocks away the neighborhood is safe to walk to and from. I was born in this neighborhood. I grew up in this neighborhood and when I left, I ended up coming back and as of today, I am still looking for an apartment in this neighborhood. My work is in the city so I decided to come back to the neighborhood and enjoy and remember what I used to see when I was a kid."

"The summer parties and salsa lessons at La Marketa are a wonderful way to get together with people from the neighborhood."

"The neighborhood is good if you are a fan of the Puerto Rican Parade festivals and small carnivals. also there is Thomas Jefferson Park and poll for the kids"

"Its one of the best places i have lived in its also safe environment its close to everything u got schools hospitals market near by and more "

"It’s a very ethnically diverse neighborhood and still a cheap area to live but it can also be loud and dirty at times but it is safe for the most part. "

"Nothing is unique in this area. You can’t even walk outside without smelling someone else smoking. Besides that the only good thing is neighbors do mind their business so you don’t worry much about noise complaints "

"Get home before dark and loud music is played and have packages delivered on days you’re home and good parks to go to are at 124 towards west side"
