President Bush came to Harlem to push his No Child Left Behind initiative to parents.  President Bush is also an advocate for charter schools as well.  He however did not impress all of the Harlem natives, as many are highly upset with him because his intiatives have not been clearly proven in the inner cities of Harlem as well as other boroughs not to mention the Iraq issues at hand, such as spending money on a war that could better be utilized in the schools.  Check out the article from the New York Amsterdam News…

As some of you may already know, The Athena Group is building a high rise condominium in Harlem on 110th and Lenox Avenue, across the street from Central Park.  Prices for them are starting at $1.5million…which means that people who have been in the area forever will never be able to afford to move in, and may be forced out….
