for this blog.. the main theme was about gentrification in astoria and even though i didn't none of my blogs were based on gentrification or astoria.. we did talk about gentrification in class and since i believe that community boards (although not one hundred percent effect) can help play a role in delaying the process i suggested that charles (the author) should Read my blog to see how that can help him

the theme of this blog was based on "foundinbrooklyn's" reminiscent of the old Astor place (the area in which the blogger was raised)..and about how its changed into a trendy area for the collegians near by..based on what i have posted (in blog#3 based on public and private spaces.. were my location for my map was st.marks astor place)the only similarities between our work is the area that we chose..

even though this post was based on pictures ..the theme was of a young couple making out, in an open area while the woman (assumably waiting for something) is just standing there..my activity#6 (gendered space) has absolutely nothing in common with this persons work.. i decided to use it because it reminded me of the gendered spaces topic.. but more specifically about how people can turn public spaces into private spaces.. and i just felt that it was the perfect example of what we touched on in class.

i had to choose this one since.. i read the first one on the page and really like his humor.. then the "mobile accessibility" post caught my eye..and then i thought wow..another one.. even though my blogs thus far don't seem to have very much in common with the ones that Ive picked.. they all pertain to the class because this one deals with the issues of maps that we spoke about 2 classes ago..well except this one was slightly off.. because he was talking about cell phones and upgrades.. but according to his picture.. they seem to use maps on their smart phones like we discussed
