outside the Marcy Projects (a cheaper housing choice in NYC), where I found myself looking at familiar faces of Hispanic, African-American people and the occasional Caucasian tourist walking through to a nearby hotel. However, it was like I walked into a new world when I crossed the street onto Flushing Ave and I was the only person to not look like or dress like the people around me.
