When you first come to my neighborhood, the first thing you would notice is a huge baseball field right across the street from my house. Of course, you notice other things like the corner grocery store filled with people yelling and having a good time. I love my neighborhood; I live in Kingsbridge on 233rd street in Bronx, New York. I’ve always enjoyed my neighborhood ever since the first day I moved there.
There are so many things to do in my neighborhood; there are at least 10 different diners and restaurants from iHop to Applebee’s. The towns favorite restaurant would have to be iHop, it’s always filled with people eating and talking with family or friends. There are also a lot of clean, safe parks. Baseball fields, basketball courts, handball courts and the biggest park of them all, Van Courtland park. People that don’t even live in my neighborhood love going to Van Courtland Park because it has so many things to do there. There are swimming pools, tennis courts, bike paths and so much more. And Last but not least, shopping stores. There are endless amounts of shopping stores like target, Marshalls, mandee and, the children’s place. But of course there are also other types of stores like FYE where they sell DVD’s and books and then there’s my favorite store, Walgreens.
Walgreens what can I say, im obsessed! I absolutely love Walgreens because it has almost everything from food to greeting cards. What I like the most about Walgreens is that for every season, there’s an isle that’s decorated according to the specific holiday. For example, Easter is coming up so the isle is full of Easter eggs and rabbits. I enjoy going to Walgreens and seeing how they decorate the isle for the next holiday. Of course, they sell more things like hair products and toilet paper. There’s even a pharmacy.
