Welcome Back!!!  By now you've all come to realize that a city is a composite thing.  You've had a chance to read about a variety of neighborhoods in Jacobs' book, and you've also been noticing that neighborhoods each have distinctive personalities and attractions through films like Strut and Z Boys.  It is not hard to locate imagery.  So I thought I'd show you a few nooks and crannies, some famous, some not. I hope you enjoy them and go looking for some of your own online.
