My Old Neighborhood
Living in a neighborhood has the risk that your experience is good or bad; however, my experience at my old neighborhood was extremely great. Astoria which was the first neighborhood where I lived when I first came to this country fourteen years ago, and the combination of factors such as the shopping, transportation, and the location has made this neighborhood a great place to live, and an unforgettable experience.

Sometimes I still go there to visit my brother, and the neighborhood now has more stores, and restaurants than when I was living there. It has become sort of a small Manhattan. Because it had all the necessary things that I needed in a neighborhood; I was happy there.

The N train which was the train that I used to take was available all the time and it was a clean train that provided me with good service every time I needed it. I felt so lucky to have the
