When one thinks about it, the Harlem neighbourhood is interesting. Harlem borders Central Park and has Marcus Garvey Park (Mount Morris), Jackie Robinson Park (Colonial), Morningside Park, St. Nicholas Park and Thomas Jefferson Park. All of these were in use by the time the I.R.T. reached West 242d Street. Also Inwood has much parkland. Maybe Mr. Moses considered this. Perhaps Bedford and Stuyvesant in Brooklyn (they were two neighbourhoods in Mr. Moses' day) might be a better evaluator. Marcus Garvey Park opened as Mount Morris Square on 1 December 1840 when Harlem was in the "country". |
