The Stylistics had a stunning run of top ten R&B singles out of Philadelphia in the early 70s, with some, such as "Break Up to Make Up" and "You Make Me Feel Brand New," cracking the top ten on the pop charts. The Manhattans (who hailed from Jersey City, NJ) formed in the 60s as a doo-wop group but were able to sustain success into the early 80s, winning a Grammy in 1981 for their R&B hit "Shining Star." Harold Melvin's Blue Notes got their start as The Charlemagnes in the 1950s, but didn't break out until the early 70s, when they brought in a young Teddy Pendergrass (first as a drummer, then as lead singer) and signed to Gamble & Huff's Philadelphia International label.

On Saturday, August 10th, VP Recordswill host a showcase in Central Park with some of its illustrious alumni: Elephant Man, whose 2003 hit "Pon di River, Pon di Bank" and collaborations with Wyclef Jean and Busta Rhymes helped further blur the lines between dancehall and hip hop; Junior Reid, the former Black Uhuru vocalist whose 1989 classic "One Blood" has spawned countless remakes and interpolations; Estelle, the genre-bending, Grammy-winning English singer best known for her Kanye West collaboration "American Boy" and now has her own album, Lover's Rock, with VP; and Grammy-nominated Raging Fyah, a five-piece band from Kingston, Jamaica that makes music bound to the roots rock reggae tradition.

Living in NYC: Apt Hunting 101

So, when I got accepted into Parsons, I knew absolutely no one in NY. Like, I’ve never had been to NYC not even to visit or anything. Well, lies, I visited one time but that was three months before I was going to move up there for school. It was kind of sudden everything, I wasn’t sure if I was really gonna be accepted into Parson's, I hadn't heard anything from them. I really had to make quick and decisive decisions about going to this school. I don’t think even my family believed I had the guts to go either. Plus, now that I think about it, I just kind of went with the flow. Anyways, I had to do some things that maybe other kids going to the school didn’t. I really had to consider expenses and cost of my tuition. This is a bit off topic but if you didn’t know students that go to Parson’s majority are mostly international students. What does that have to do with anything exactly? Well in most cases, international students don't have to struggle as much as the average college student. International students usually came from families that were well off in their country. I mean they have to be able to afford the tuition in Parson's, since they don't receive any help in the U.S. Parson's tuition it's astronomical and continues to increase each year, it's unbelievable. (So if you're interested in going to Parson's really considered the tuition and cost of living. And when you finally do accept the financial risks SERIOUSLY start saving your pennies. What I mean by that is just really look into scholarships, grants and working part-time.) Anyways, I shall continue . . . .

So, when looking for a place to live in New York, here are some tips. . .

1) If you have friends or family that live in New York, contact them.

You are so fortunate if you have this, I'm telling it's not easy. To have any friends or family, will be amazing because they can help you and guide you through the concrete jungle. Show you what to do in the city and plus you have a person that you can possibly depend on.

2) Get connected online for FB Rooming/apts

Yes, this will help a lot and you can't be shy. You're doing this by yourself now, no papi or mami to hold your hand. Eventually, I learned about these group pages. Like, when I started living in Brooklyn I would use group pages on Facebook because in my apt we had some rooms that were available. It was a bit of a safer to find roommates or apartments or what not. Not everybody can just be a member, you need like a mutual friend, so that they can accept into the group. Yet, look for group pages that have the same idea.

For example. . .

Bushwick Boarding Bazaar

New school housing and apts

3) Considered where you want to live

In manhattan, it's loads of fun but it's very expensive. Most people that I knew that lived in Manhattan traded comfort just to say they lived in the city and you would see them live in a hole. HAHA! The other reason was for convenience they didn't want to be too far from school and I could understand that. By all means, if your able to afford you should definitely try but you'll be looking for rent that's like double or triple price, for a hole in the wall. If you're on a budget, look into Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem or the Bronx. You'll find places that are much more affordable, spacious and be able to live decently. Also, be careful the further you are from Manhattan, well the less ideal they are. For example, I lived in Bushwick a section in Brooklyn, I lived close to the Myrtle stop on the L train. After my stop, uffff there weren't decent places to live.

4) Risking it but Craiglist, if you're in a pinch

What I say is what I mean, Craiglist you're able to find places to live in. I looked into Craiglist when I looked for an apartment in Brooklyn and I really got lucky. (I would really recommend though to look for people from your school or people you knew before and room with them.) Like, I said I got really lucky. Craiglist sometimes can be suspicious and there are people who do fraud and thief. So, to be safe look for the apartments that only have pictures. Go with a friend or family member if you're seeing these places. Follow your gut, if it feels wrong it most likely is. Also, don't accept money orders, don't do anything that has to do with money orders. Most likely a scam.

it for now, I hope this helps and if there's anyone that's interested living in New York. Just for your information, apartment hunting in NY is not easy, it's a job within itself. So be vigilant and be safe. Anyways, you can comment this blog and ask any specific question, I'll try to answer them as best as I can. Til then . . .

Much love,

Bredizzle <3

Hard Money and Real Estate-A New York Story

A vintage cartoon (from the New Yorker?) has a bunch of New York people at a cocktail party, and the balloon for each of them simply says “Real Estate.” NY Prime Holding LLC v Nationstar Mtge., LLC 2019 NY Slip Op 30857(U) March 27, 2019 Supreme Court, New York County Docket Number: 157879/2018 Judge: John J. Kelley is the story of a Harlem townhouse passed around in a game of musical real estate parcels. A foreclosure action is filed on the very last day possible and ends the first round of the game. The second round starts with a Judiciary Law § 487 claim.

“On October 8, 2008, Badrul Islam (hereinafter Badrul) purchased real property located at 280 West 127th Street in Manhattan (the property) from Jason Hutto Franklin and Jermaine Hutto. On that date, Badrul gave a mortgage on the property to Golden First Mortgage Corp. (GFMC) in consideration of a $972,000 loan. GFMC designated Mortgage Electronic Recording Systems, Inc. (MERS), as its nominee. Badrul allegedly defaulted in the repayment of the mortgage loan. On October 29, 2009, Federal National Mortgage Association (hereinafter Fannie Mae) commenced a foreclosure action (hereinafter the 2009 foreclosure action) against Badrul, Franklin, and Hutto, among others, in the Supreme Court, New York County, under Index No. 115280/09. MERS, however, did not transfer or assign the mortgage and underlying promissory note to Fannie Mae until June 5, 2010. By order dated October 3, 2010, the Supreme Court (Schlesinger, J.) denied Fannie Mae’s motion for summary judgment on the complaint in the 2009 foreclosure action, without prejudice to renewal upon proper papers showing that it had standing to prosecute the action.

Over the next several years, ownership of the property was transferred by deed on numerous occasions. On October 5, 2012, Badrul deeded the property to K&S Holding Trading Corp. On December 13, 2012, K&S Holding Trading Corp. deeded the property to Kitty Hawk Holdings, LLC. On March 13, 2014, Kitty Hawk Holdings, LLC, deeded the property to Jericho NY Prime Holding, LLC. On April 17, 2014, Jericho NY Prime Holding, LLC, deeded the property to the plaintiff, NYPH. During that period of time, the mortgage given by Badrul, then held by Fannie Mae, remained unsatisfied and remained a mortgage of record.

By order dated April 2, 2015, the Supreme Court (Schlesinger, J.) denied Fannie Mae’s renewed motion for summary judgment on the complaint in the 2009 foreclosure action, and dismissed the complaint in that action, without prejudice.

Inasmuch as the 2009 foreclosure action was commenced on October 29, 2009, thus accelerating Badrul’s obligations under the note and mortgage, Fannie Mae or its assignee had six years from that date, or until October 29, 2015, to recommence an action to foreclose on the subject mortgage. Thereafter, any person with an interest in the mortgaged property could maintain an action to cancel the mortgage (see generally RPAPL 1501 [4]; Milone v US Bank Natl. Assn., 164 AD3d 145, 156 [2d Dept 2018]; Mizrahi v US Bank, Natl. Assn., 156 AD3d 617[2d Dept 2017]; NMNT Realty Corp. v Knoxville 2012 Trust, 151 AD3d 1068, 1069-1070 [2d Dept 2017]). On October 27, 2015, Fannie Mae assigned the mortgage and note to the defendant Nationstar. On October 29, 2015, Nationstar, represented by the defendant law firm SOB, commenced a new foreclosure in the Supreme Court, New York County, under Index No. 452981 /15 (hereinafter the 2015 foreclosure action), naming NYPH and Badrul as defendants. ”

“In the meantime, on August 23, 2018, NYPH commenced the instant action to recover against SOB for violation of Judiciary Law § 487, against SOB, Nationstar, Provest, Oliver, Zienkowicz, and a person named Baharul Islam (Baharul) to recover for abuse of process and fraud, and for a declaration that the judgment entered in the 2015 foreclosure action is null and void. The gravamen of NYPH’s complaint is that Nationstar and SOB, as its attorneys, knew that Badrul did not live on Paulding Avenue in the Bronx, and that they purposely served the summons and complaint in the 2015 foreclosure action upon Baharul, an unrelated person with a similar name who did reside there. NYPH asserts that this service was a ruse to trick it and the court into believing that service had been made upon the correct person at the correct address, and that the defendants lied in order to secure a default judgment against Badrul, who actually never received notice of that action in time to defend it. NYPH thus contends that the judgment in the 2015 foreclosure action was secured by fraud and abuse of process, and that it has been damaged by virtue of being divested of its ownership interest in the property. ”

“The complaint fails to state a cause of action because it constitutes an improper collateral attack upon the judgment entered in the 2015 foreclosure action. Any claim that the judgment of foreclosure was obtained by fraud must be made the subject of a motion to vacate the judgment in that action, pursuant to CPLR 5015(a)(3), on the ground that it was secured by extrinsic fraud (see Country Wide Home Loans, Inc. v Harris, 136 AD3d 570 [1st Dept 2016) [judgment properly vacated where mortgagee knew that nonparty to foreclosure action had an interest in subject property, yet purposefully refused to name or join him in action]). “The remedy for fraud allegedly committed during the course of a legal proceeding must be exercised in that lawsuit by moving to vacate the civil judgment (CPLR 5015[a][3]), and not by another plenary action collaterally attacking that judgment” (St. Clement v Londa, 8 AD3d 89, 90 [1st Dept 2004); see Kai Lin v Department of Dentistry, Univ. of Rochester Med. Ctr., 120 AD3d 932 [4th Dept 2014); Parker & Waichman v Napoli, 29 AD3d 396, 399 [1st Dept 2006); Vinokur v Penny Lane Owners Corp., 269 AD2d 226 [1st Dept 2000)).

This rule applies to claims under Judiciary Law§ 487 as well. In Yalkowsky v Century Apts. Assocs. (215 AD2d 214, 215 [1st Dept 1995)), the Court dismissed a cause of action against an attorney who allegedly lied to the Civil Court to obtain a judgment in a landlord-tenant dispute that defeated a tenant’s constructive eviction defense. The Court explained that, even if it could be proven that the landlord’s attorney lied to the Civil Court, the “plaintiff’s remedy lies exclusively in that lawsuit itself, i.e., by moving pursuant to CPLR 5015 to vacate the civil judgment due to its fraudulent procurement, not a second plenary action collaterally attacking the judgment in the original action”” (id.; see Crouse v McVickar, 207 NY 213, 217 [1912)). ”

Per Aspera ad Astra

Latin -” Through hardship to the stars...”

I’ve..

- Sized up the Amazon and hopped ships from Colombia into Brazil exploring the beauty of a simpler life and admired how differently people live (We city people have no idea)...

- Lived illegally in Brazil and almost became a resident thanks to Lula offering amnesty

-Snowboarded the French Alps and Purenees (& tore my rotator cuff when my board skipped on a rock at the bottom of a black diamond)

-Worked as an international courier to deliver motherboards twice to Guadalajara City, and film reels to Vienna for the Last Samurai- so healthy to get out!

- Flipped airbnbs for friends in Williamsburg & Bedstuy, and painted apts in Harlem and Bushwick when i was “freelancing”...

- Lived in a 3000SF loft in one of the last affordable live-work spaces in the Downtown LA Arts District that should have been landmarked- where we paid less than $1/SF- but were then subjects to Eminent Domain thanks to the City of Los Angeles and the monster machine of gentrification severing off our end of the building, widening the 1st street bridge so as to incorporate a lightrail- where my bedroom, kitchen and bathroom use to be

- Received a $500 tip and a glass of Cristal Champagne- and could almost pay my rent after working that night in Hollywood

- Jumped on a last minute light to Miami to deliver missing hardware (screws) for an installation project that needed to be finished b/c FedEX wasn’t working over the weekend- but got to visit my aunt & uncle for 3 days

- Sold a 5 ft. schooner ship sculpture I built from parts from 3 disassembled pianos (Wurlitzer & Steinway), which paid for January rent in a Bushwick loft and my trip back to LA to deliver to an inspiring collector.

- Drove from Dallas to LA straight in under 24 hours 4x- even breaking down on one of those trips only to be towed by twin brothers who helped replace my timing belt and got me back on the road to make it under 24 hrs. There ARE kind people out there!

-Drove from Denver to NY in under 24 hours only to arrive for my move and to watch the 2009 World Cup Final- Spain beat the Netherlands! Who needs sleep?! Naps are the best!

- Trekked the Salkentay trail for 5 days to climb Macchu Pichu & not only looked like a spotted cow (severely sunburnt & peeling in the face) but a map of constellations due to the 50+ bug bite trail left on me. All despite, what a TRIP!

- Volunteered at a school in Port-Au-Prince for 6 weeks only to understand how complex Haiti’s history, how so many live piled up in camps with no hope, children going hungry unless they make it to school, and how there’s discrimination even between shades of color / “blackness”

- Moved 3x in 5 months while in crutches due to a horrible soccer injury (nightmare) and resorted to messing around with graphic design and designing fake album covers in my sedentary stage- only finding a depressing job at a non-profit in Chelsea scanning medical documents of disabled children. Eye-opening to be temporary disabled working for the disabled.

- Climbed part of the Great Wall with both my parents (!!!) after talking about for more than 2 decades- Hello dreams!

- Watched my very sick pitbull/boxer Einstein slip off a chair, vomit blood, slip in it from exhaustion, and have a heart attack while my cat Zen intensely meowed and circled the scene. #HORRIBLE

- Worked as someone’s personal driver for 2 months driving them around in a Porsche Panamera 2015 ( It was 2014, and I realized I know more about sports injuries than I do about sports cars...and am more of an SUV/mobile locker kind of gal)

- Formally said goodbye to my grandmother - perhaps the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. First it was the walker, then the portable toilet, the hospital bed, the wheel chair, the oxygen tank, creating an excel spreadsheet to organize her medication, and then writing her eulogy. They don’t make grandmas the way they use to.

-Fallen asleep on the train only to have my bag stolen with my laptop, external hard drive, camera and watch- only to get my laptop back (which no longer resembled mine) but working with an NYPD and Lowjack investnro- and informing them I had figured out that the IP address showing up thru Dropbox could be googled to locate the one of 2 addresses/buildings where my computer was being held hostage. Turns out the kid had bought the laptop from someone in Union Square- who needed $ for a suit to attend a job interview. My laptop was full of WIP cover letters...

- Been attacked by a guy with a knife in Bogota the night Obama won the election ( My English friend was more afraid I was going to be the #~!@#! out of the guy. I had thankfully just trained with an El Salvadorean boxing coach for 3 months only cuz my neighbor was dating him. He was also already training his son.

- Helped a lovely Russian lady with stage 4 cancer find an apartment rental in Bedstuy. She reminded me of my adopted Russian grandmother Helen (who spoke Chinese). It wasn’t easy jumping thru so many hoops, The lease signing was conducted bedside in a a Park Slope brownstone where her daughter had years before apprenticed with a painter. She had also just shaved her head. Stella invited me over for dinner twice while her daughter was visiting from London. Sadly, 3 months into her lease the Landlord wanted to sell the brownstone, so there were difficulties. I tried to visit, but saw her thru the window sleeping. 2 weeks after minimal & delayed responses and a text of “I’m dying”, the Listing Agent called me to give his condolences and to inform me she had passed. )o: #RIPDearStella

- Met a musician at a wine bar I was working at in Fort Greene, whom I later recommended to an Argentinian multi-instrumentalist to secure a collaboration and help produce a music video! (Scenes on Hancock St- behind where I lived, and recruiting my boss’ kids seen playing on the sidewalk, and a Turkish taxi driver friend’s friend #HELLOPOTENTIAL #JAZZHOP <<<”Cause there ain’t no stopping us...”

Size matters and there’s a battle of the smallest apts. in New York City. Ron, a comedian living in West Harlem says that his wee-sized space beats musician AJ’s apartment that went viral on TikTok for being the city’s “smallest.”

AJ gave a tour of his tiny apartment on TikTok last month.

Though his apartment is 100 square feet — the same as AJ’s — Ron argues that his space is tighter.

According to AJ’s article in the NY Post, his apt. is 75 sq. ft., though. His fridge is larger and he does have the queen size mattress.

Ron only has room for a clothes rack.

“This guy has a queen-size mattress in his apartment,” he said in his own TikTok video. “If I brought a queen-size mattress into my New York apartment, it would crush me to death.”

I think it has to do w/the shape of the room. (Geez, he has a long neck.)

Ron found his place on Craigslist and pays $950mo. AJ pays $1200mo.

AJ doesn’t have a kitchen sink, he has a bathroom sink to the left of the door, and he does have some storage plus a small closet.

Neither of their apts. have stoves and they both have to share showers and toilets in the hall with neighbors. I’d say they’re both pretty depressing places.

Hyperallergic: From Acoustic Mirrors to Kitchen Huts, Sculptures Take Root in Harlem Parks

Kevin Beasley, Who’s Afraid to Listen to Red, Black and Green?, detail (2016), Morningside Park, New York, NY (all photos by author for Hyperallergic)

The seasons are changing here in New York, and city parks are filling with people looking for Vitamin D, migrating birds, and blooms and buds. It seemed like a good moment to take a break from the abundant bad news filling my feeds, hop on my bike, and check out inHarlem, a series of public sculpture installations in four Harlem parks. Unlike many public art installations commissioned by major museums, this one, curated by Harlem’s own Studio Museum, is focused on showcasing work by artists who have strong connections to the area and the city.

The series features work by Kevin Beasley, Simone Leigh, Kori Newkirk, and Ruby Shepherd. Each of the parks hosting work is large enough, and the sculptures are tucked away enough, that it makes for a pleasant sort of scavenger hunt trying to find them, even with the handy map the museum has made to direct you. I was lucky enough to be out on a gorgeous day with lots of others grateful for the good weather, which served as a lovely reminder that people-watching and parks themselves are as much a part of the experience of public art as the sculptures.

My first stop was Kevin Beasley’s Who’s Afraid to Listen to Red, Black and Green? located on a slope in Morningside Park. When I arrived, there were about 30 young men and boys being coached through an exhausting-looking series of athletic drills up and down the hill, while parents, siblings, picnickers, and curious onlookers watched, laughed, and talked among themselves. The sounds of everyone in the park made it hard to get the full effect of the sonic component of the three pieces that make up the installation, each of which Beasley has carefully constructed to bounce and amplify sounds sent into them — he calls them “acoustic mirrors.” But the joyous and full cacophony of the neighborhood seems very much in line with Beasley’s work.

The work is constructed from resin, color, housedresses, and other clothing purchased in the neighborhood, and its title pulls on threads that stretch back across the better part of a century: specifically Kerry James Marshall’s 2012 exhibition Who’s Afraid of Red, Black and Green, which was a reference to a series of works by Barnett Newman from the late 1960s titled Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue, which threads back to a play, which tugs back even further to a children’s song. In Marshall’s exhibition, from which Beasley is most directly drawing, Newman’s aesthetic exercise becomes something far more grounded and specific: Primary colors are replaced with the colors of the Pan-African flag and mixed in with other slices of African and African American culture.

Marshall’s exhibition asked questions about identity while challenging audiences to confront perceptions and fears. Beasley’s focus on sonic experience in the verdant green of a park seems particularly apt as Harlem joins the ranks of the gentrified. Among the most consistent sites of cultural difference and quotidian conflict in cities is the soundscape: neighbors scowling over differing ideas of the volume or type of music that’s acceptable to play; people in parks who want quiet, modest picnics versus big groups or families out for a barbecue or party; or shared annoyance about dogs who bark far too much. Loudness and musical taste are by no means racially specific, but there are consistent fault lines in sound that come up again and again — see the enduring knee-jerk reactions that many in the US have when asked if they like rap or country music. For all these reasons, the sounds of Harlem’s parks, the sounds of the differing people who occupy them, and the changes to those sounds over time all seem like great points of focus to carry forward the conversation that Marshall started.

Kori Newkirk, Sentra, installation view (2016), St. Nicholas Park, New York, NY

My next stop seemed to also be an homage, or a remix of sorts. On a large steep stairway in St. Nicholas Park, Kori Newkirk’s Sentra offers visitors three portals to pass through as you ascend or descend. It’s hard not to think of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s work The Gates, but Newkirk’s materials are intentionally far less grand, deliberately drawn from things many urban residents know well: heavy rusted piping and clear plastic flaps like those at the entrance to a cold storage room or that you might find in a car wash. For those familiar with Newkirk’s work, there’s a clear connection here to his beaded curtains and his regular use of found materials. In this case, he seems to be suggesting that these metal and plastic constructions can serve as their own portals and spiritual entry points, evoking sites of transition and transcendence similar to the torii that inspired Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

From there I continued north to Jackie Robinson Park to see Ruby Shepherd’s Black Rock Negative Energy Absorber. This was one of my two favorites of the group, particularly because of how well-sited it is. There’s a stand of London plane trees in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden that forms a chapel-like structure as the branches arch up, out, and away from the other trees, where I have often retreated over the years. It forms an open space beneath the canopy, a common natural form that has clearly inspired centuries of architects of spiritual spaces: flying buttresses soaring high into the air, shafts of light piercing through slivered openings, multicolored stained glass where leaves and sky interact in the spaces between. In Jackie Robinson Park, Shepherd placed her sculpture in the apse of a massive cathedral of plane trees lined with benches and alcoves.

Composed of colored concrete in an earthen and organic shape, the piece rises well above any person who walks near it, echoing the reach and manifold nature of the trees around it and also seeming distinctly altar-like. Someone had placed an offering of small sticks inside when I visited, lending the piece even more of a sense of spiritual energy. It evoked some of the altars discussed in one of my favorite art books, Kay Turner’s Beautiful Necessity: The Art and Meaning of Women’s Altars, as well as the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove in Nigeria. The work is at once quiet, playful, monumental, idiosyncratic, devout, and mysterious.

Simone Leigh, A particularly elaborate imba yokubikira, or kitchen house, stands locked up while its owners live in diaspora, installation view (2016), Marcus Garvey Park, New York, NY

For my last stop, I wound down and east to Marcus Garvey Park, where I found Simone Leigh’s A particularly elaborate imba yokubikira, or kitchen house, stands locked up while its owners live in diaspora, my other favorite. The piece is humorous and poignant, beautiful and unexpected. As I walked up to it, near the edge of a wide, sunny lawn on the east side of the park, one of the first things it brought to mind was Camara Laye’s excellent novel The Radiance of the King, which follows its main character on a seemingly endless journey to find the ruler of a fictional nation on the coast of Africa. Like Laye’s work, Leigh’s plays with questions of authenticity, connection, and searching. But hers is a reversal of Laye’s script in many ways: Rather than a foolish white protagonist entering the African context, Leigh’s protagonists would seem to be Black Africans (and their descendants) wrenched, through violence and slavery, into a white world, with a focus on both the imagined and real lives and culture they left behind.

These solid concrete kitchen houses have no doorways, no entry points, no historic reenactors guiding visitors into or around them. And through what seems to be intentional neglect on the part of the artist, the roof is already starting to fall apart on one of them. Another thing this work brought to mind was Henry Louis Gates’s television program Finding Your Roots, in which those with African heritage often find themselves cut off from any specific information about a history leading back to Africa because slaves’ pasts were intentionally obscured by their captors and prolonged trauma. Frequently the show will pivot to best guesses about a person’s country of ancestry based on current DNA sampling technology, combined with best guesses about the worlds left behind and what they might be like today.

In this series, the Studio Museum has done a great job of selecting artists who have produced layered work that seems like it will easily stand up to the repeated visits that residents of the neighborhood will inevitably pay while spending time in the parks. There’s also a playfulness to each that rewards curious onlookers who decide to give the works a closer inspection, whether for the first time or the 20th. And because you actually have to venture into the parks to experience them, rather than simply passing by outside, they also demand an interaction with Harlem itself — both its history and its present.

inHarlem continues in four Harlem parks through July 25.
