Last night I watched a bodega guy call the cops cause some guy tried to steal one of those 50 cent bags of Utz. Six police officers showed up and threw one girl who was hanging out on the street against a car because she said something derogatory. SIX POLICE OFFICERS FOR 50 CENTS!!!! Waste of tax payer money.
The whole thing was so ridiculous.

East Harlem, New York.
Side Note: Today was fun fun fun, spent it with my baby girl and a bunch of other people. I also met a guy who named his car “Mallory”. Good times.
THe Harlem Renaissance: one of my favorite Eras, I love the whole Ideal of the movement, the dress and style of the day, the intellectual writers, and artists, I if I could travel back in time, that is the era I would like to visit.
This painting is by Archibald Motley Jr., I don’t know the name of it, but he captured the essence of nightlife back then.

Interview with the filmmaker, Jean Bach by NJMH Executive Director Loren Schoenberg.
Presented by NJMH and the New York Historical Society Come discover the rich story and hear the engrossing sounds behind the most famous photo in the history of jazz, in which photographer Art Kane coordinated a group photograph of many of the top jazz musicians in NYC in 1958 for Esquire magazine. The documentary features interviews of many of the musicians in the photograph who talk about the day the now iconic photograph was taken, and shows film footage taken that day by Milt Hinton and his wife.
The film was nominated in 1995 for an Academy Award for Documentary Feature.
The photo was also a key object in Steven Spielberg’s film, The Terminal, starring Tom Hanks as Viktor Navorski, a character who comes to the United States in search of Benny Golson’s autograph, with which he can complete his deceased father’s collection of autographs from the musicians pictured in the photo.
The afternoon screening of the documentary of the same title (1994) will be followed by an interview with the filmmaker, Jean Bach by NJMH Executive Director Loren Schoenberg.
Hi followers. :3
My name is Mallory April Colón (I have a very weird name, I know). I’m eighteen. I’m from East Harlem, NYC. I’m a freshman at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. I’m a vegetarian because I love animals too much to eat them (It’s been that way for about three years). I’m addicted to YooHoo and Cheese. I fall for people who spell things correctly and have nice grammar. I’m way too nice to people, and the people I call my friends are the ones who don’t take advantage of that. I’m head over heels in love with Pete Wentz and Kid Cudi, and you’ll see a lot of posts related to them on here. I’m tiny with big lips and bunny teeth. =B
Let’s be friends? ♥

the cost of costco. the recently opened east harlem costco has announced that they had to layoff 160 employees in january. this comes after costco pleaded with local organizations and the community board that they would hire locals in exchange for overnight deliveries. and now, two months after the wholesale giant opened its doors costco reps are stating that the reason for the layoffs is that their sales have fallen short of their projections. others believe that they never planned to keep all the employees to begin with. its too bad. they obviously aren’t worried about the community which has an already high unemployment rate of 17%. lets hope that when target and best buy open they will be more community oriented.
