"A Mixed Bag is Here"

E. 147th Street goes from Union Avenue to Jackson Avenue. Then it picks up again from the other side of St. Mary's Playground and travels to 3rd Avenue.

The area between Union Avenue and Jackson Avenue is mainly a residential zone with a couple of schools thrown in, along with a few small delis and restaurants.

The section from St. Mary's playground to 3rd Avenue is made up of mainly schools, residential buildings, stores, some office buildings, and some commercial facilities.
Pros
  • Lots of schools for kids
  • Mixed bag
Cons
  • Street was designed in a weird way
  • Lots of kids in area during school times
