My second walk took place on October 9, 2000 at 1:30 p.m. This walk is a very familiar route because it is where I grew up for the past 13 years.

My neighborhood makes me feel comfortable because we all have gone throughout or are going through a struggle sometime in life, but in spite of all our troubles we pull together as a community to help better our surroundings. There are a wide variety of young to older citizens in Jamaica, which range from young kids in their teens to the senior citizens. you can see that the houses and the surrounding area are in better condition than that of the 109th area. towards the west where people in the area do they're shopping. If you go 5 miles east you will find Green Acres mall and Jamaica Ave. To house the population of seniors there are 2 nursing homes in the area that help out those that are disabled or elderly. On Guy Brewer you can find a church on every corner you walk along. Hospitals are also close by but they are not in the immediate vicinity.
