INWOOD
Come to Inwood!
That's where the Neighborhood Artist is.
Yes, she loves sharing her art with others.
Makes our neighborhood beautiful.
Another Neighborhood Artist?
Why not?
Just like singers and rappers,
They enjoy saying their names

Love Inwood
Today I saw an elderly couple. What was so cute was how she took care of him, fixed his jacket and put it right.
True love.
Makes you realize
Life is so precious.
