Robert, 515 West End Av





Robert was born and raised in New York. He has been working for 31 years as a doorman and for 29 years in the same building. During this period, he could see some of the kids grow up to be college students or even get to know some of the residents' families.

He feels at home in his building, but his real home is in Harlem. Even though their are upsides and downsides to every neighborhood, he enjoys living there with his family.

What he loves most about New York is the fact that everything is always available. The noise and the trafic get on his nerves, especially when he has to stand on the sidewalk or take the train to go home. Concerning the weather, he considers it is not an issue, as all New Yorkers have to put up with it.

Nevertheless, if he had to move, he would go to sunny California.
