The Ninth Avenue Festival

Improved Essays
The Ninth Avenue food festival runs along Ninth Avenue from 37th Street to 57th Street, and has an history that supports its name. Although the Clinton neighborhood has improved over the years, it still maintains its rich ethnic diversity and cultural heritage. Ninth Avenue is still like a neighborhood of mom and pop stores, many in their third and fourth generation. The Ninth Avenue has become a popular center for rich ethnic cuisines. Every year, new ethnic and gourmet stores and restaurants have opened in the neighborhood, adding to the good eating and cheap prices.

    It was warm, humid and cloudy on the day of our Jack Johnson concert. Despite the warmth, it was a perfect day to be outside and sitting on the lawn at the DTE Music Center to enjoy some relaxing tunes. Jack Johnson is classified as a folk and acoustic rock musician, however I compare him between a calmer version of John Mayer and Jason Mraz combined. He plays an acoustic electric guitar, but his guitar playing skills are nowhere near as good as his writing skills. He plays basic guitar chords, but his lyrics make the music.…

Each artist that was involved with the Mexican school created images to express the problems that were presented at the time. Some problems that were occurring are discrimination, dictatorships, and abuses of minorities. African American artists understood these views and collaborated since they nearly settled in the same cities throughout the United States.…
