    "Lovely community that keeps on grounded. The garbage streets is improved as it seems more landlords are cleaning the street but there are spots that remain gross especially adjacent to empty lots or building construction areas. Most people are friendly to newcomers. Prospect park is a huge asset. I am impressed and pleased that NYC is taking care of and improving the park especially south of Lincoln ave. "
