It’s autumn and we’re exactly where we want to be — New York City! We kick it off with the HARRY S. SINCLAIR HOUSE which is located on FIFTH AVENUE. Its growth as the main artery for the wealthy in New York City is fascinating! After learning about the rich we move downtown to ST. PATRICK’S OLD CATHEDRAL SCHOOL. Did you know Martin Scordcese went to school there? And he’s Italian just like LITTLE ITALY former home to New York’s Italian immigrants and now home to New York’s tourists. We move on from LITTLE ITALY and learn about JACOB RIIS who was instrumental in the creation of flash photography. He was a champion of the impoverished residents of NYC using his photography to raise awareness about squalid living conditions. From the mansions on the Upper East Side to the Tenement Slums of downtown Episode 110 is one for the native New Yorker. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow WikiFreakz IG and Twitter @wikifreakzz ————————————————————————————————————- Follow Jill Weiner on IG and Twitter @jill_lives www.jilllives.com Venmo @jill-weiner-1 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Connor Creagan on IG and Twitter @connorcreagan www.connorcreagan.info Venmo @connor-creagan
