field notes

Bed-Stuy brownstones: almost entirely two-and-a-half story. Large, four story apartments on avenues. Fairly deep, 12-14 foot setbacks. Seem to be garden apartment and two story house set up. Couple of churches, only one-two vacant lots. Mostly African American, quiet on Easter Sunday. Retail restricted to a couple delis, Chinese take-outs.
