Paradise in an abandoned lot

Article Abstract:

There are around 1,000 community gardens across the five boroughs of New York, NY. These gardens have been created since the 1970s on derelict or unused land belonging to the city. Many of them are administered through Operation Green Thumb. Some are quite large, and provide food for local people. Others have not been cared for very well. Some of the most eccentric gardens are located in Manhattan's East Village.

Go on, I know you want to

Article Abstract:

The main reason why women's shoes are attractive to many men seems to be based on design and aesthetics. Shoes play a part in the process of reshaping and customizing the foot, and offer the excitement of many different exotic fabrics, whereas the foot is merely flesh-coloured. Shoes also have individual design features with specific meanings. Not all shoes are sexy, but shoes always make a statement about sex.
