CCAA Scavenger Hunt: Let the Photos Begin...

This trip was hoppin'.  That's slang for "good," right?  Anyway, here's a grasshopper on the railing at the Dyckman Farmhouse.  Credit: Kei, 802

Who went and played bingo after the scavenger hunt on Thursday night?  I hear Carlos got there at 6:30 to get a good seat.  Credit: Carlos, 801

The Inwood Hill Park baseball field: site of many races on Thursday morning...and a couple of slips and falls.  Sorry about your jeans, Luiggi, Adrianna, and Alex.  Credit: Carlos, 801

In 1958, Martin Luther King Jr. visited this building, once a department store called Blumstein’s, during a tour of Harlem.  Inside, he was stabbed by an insane woman and had to be sent to Harlem Hospital for life-saving surgery.  He went on to live ten more years, giving his famous "I Have a Dream" speech in 1963.  Credit: Carlos, 801

Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., represented Harlem in Congress from 1945 to 1971.  He was the first person of African-American descent elected to Congress from New York.  He was also the pastor of the famous Abyssinian Baptist Church.  Credit: Carlos, 801

Strivers' Row: the fanciest, most famous residential block in Harlem.  At an angle.  Credit: Carlos, 801

From the right angle, a house on 204th Street looks like it's out in the countryside. 

The Abyssinian Baptist Church tower points towards Heaven, just like the architects planned it.  Best photo of the day.  Much credit to the photographer for Jose's and Rosanna's team.

Inwood's Henry Hudson Bridge.  One beautiful bridge that we can call our own.

Strivers' Row: that alley used to serve another purpose, it seems.
