I entered our "field site" at 125th and Lenox around 2:30 and started working north

[after the bustle of 125th, Lenox appears quite empty. It is actually a particularly wide avenue with huge sidewalks which could be made into something spectacularly distinguished with rows of trees or such]

NW corner Lenox / 128

- Mormons; quite a new building

{given the history of the Mormons, one wonders how they decided to build this here, who attends, and what programs they have to attract local residents.}

between 130 and 131, on the westside
- House of Prayer Deliverance

- Downtown Baptist Church

at the corner of 131st street: young white woman, walking her dog

SE corner Lenox / 132nd

- St John's Pentecostal "Lenora Smith, founder" and, next door, the "Lenora Smith Foundation"

I turn East on 132nd given "Lenox Terrace," a large housing project that appears to cover at least two or three blocks on the north side of 132nd.

[It looks like a "middle income" project (on the basis of landscaping and signs)]

On the South Side of 132nd, from Lenox towards Fifth Avenue, there are

- some renovated brownstones

- Bethel Church

-tenements, some boarded up

- Greater Central Baptist (at the SW corner with Fifth)

There is a large low income housing on the north side of 132nd east of Fifth.

There are several groups of young men at various points, including two parked in a red SUV and I feel uncomfortable. So I decide to walk South on Fifth.

West side of Fifth from 131-130th:

CS133 (Fred R. Moore school)

There are two recently renovated playgrounds on the NE corner of 131 and at the SW corner. The latter is quite large.

from 130th to 129th

E: Mt. Horeb Church of God

renovated and unrenovated brownstones

West side of Fifth from 129th to 128th

- more renovations

- the All Saints Cooperative (at 2081 Fifth)

West side of Fifth from 127th to 126th

Mount Moriah Baptist

East side
