not, right there in my neighborhood. We have the last old-growth forest in the city---that means nobody cuts the trees down. Many are hundreds of years old. You can go hiking in one park and get lost…without ever leaving the city! Recently we introduced bald eagles to one of the parks. There is an old farmhouse in my neighborhood, too. It is more than two hundred years old. Today it is a museum.

It takes only 20 minutes to travel by subway from Inwood to the busy area of midtown Manhattan. Come and visit Inwood. You’ll be glad you did!

City: Fes Neighborhood: Fes-al-Bali

How old is your neighborhood? My neighborhood in Morocco is 1,200 years old. My name is Farid and I live in Fes-al-Bali.

In my neighborhood you can find everything---restaurants, shops, and of course mosques. There are more than 9,000 streets. Last week I helped two tourists from Australia. They were lost!

The whole neighborhood is surrounded by a wall with gates. You can drive inside the wall, but you can’t drive across my neighborhood---the streets are too narrow for cars. On some streets people travel by bicycle or motor scooter. Most of us just walk. It’s always busy in my neighborhood. There’s a lot of congestion from pedestrians…and donkeys!

It’s very easy to get around taking public transportation.
