I entered my address on Park Avenue South and it says the population is mostly black and hispanic which isnt true.

Nice old school pic, incidentally...wasn't the Met Life building somehow cooler when it was the "Pan Am" bulding...having been designed to look like a plane wing and all??

In Pittsburgh, my neighborhood and my grandparent's neighborhood...(actually same zip code, different streets)...stats are 65.5 higher and 42.9 higher higher, respectively. Meanwhile my midtown manhattan block is only 1.5 times higher. DAMN!

My neighborhood is 28.3 times more polluted than the average neighborhood. How long until my lungs collapse?
