My Neighborhood

When I was in third grade I lived in Chinatown which is located at downtown Manhattan.

What I always loved about living in the city is all the people and stores. There are all kinds of stores around my neighborhood and whenever you need something, you can get it right around the corner. The block I lived on was surrounded by residential buildings, but after that there are stores everywhere.

Two block from my house is P.S. 2, the elementary school that I went to until sixth grade. The school is three stories high and has a yard in the back which is the same size as the school. The street behind the school is call East Broadway and it's one of the busiest streets in Chinatown. There are restaurants, grocery stores, poultry stores, music center, a mall, libraries and all kinds of other stores. On the streets, because it is Chinatown after all, ninety percent of the people you see are Chinese and most of the stores are own or run by Chinese. There is on park on each side of my building and I used to play there almost everyday. In the park there is a playground, basket ball court, handball court, and seats fro those who want to rest. When I was small I used to rided my little bike around the park all the time with my friends.

I've always liked that neighborhood because the school was very close, a park nearby to play in and most of all there are stores of all kinds I can go shopping in.
