A panoramic movie taken at street level at Marcus Garvey Park (formerly Mount Morris Park-119th Street-124th Street, 5th Avenue)
Marcus Garvey Park is one of the oldest public squares in Manhattan. Central to the life of Harlem for more than 150 years, it has served as a meeting place for neighbors, a front yard and play area for schoolchildren, and a holy place for members of local churches. Known as Mount Morris Park for more than a hundred years, it was originally part of the estate of Metje Cornelius Kortright. The name Morris became attached to the site by the 1830s; possible sources include Robert H. Morris, elected mayor in 1841, and a family affiliated with a racetrack that once operated nearby.

Panoramic Movie Of Amsterdam Ave And 137th-138th Street
A panoramic scene connecting (look for the hot spots) the middle of the CCNY campus to (West) Amsterdam Avenue, between 137th and 138th Street. The public school park was once the site of the Hebrew Home for the Boys. It was that home that played an integral part in Gail Carson Levine's wonderful kids' historical fiction book called "Dave At Night."

Panoramic Scene 1: 117th And Malcolm X Blvd To Mr. Wright's Class
A panoramic movie taken from the meridian of 117th Street and Malcolm X Boulevard
I had to learn how to do panoramas in order to make good on #27 in the now Top 30:
"27. Making quicktime VR movies ( a relatively easy and low tech, low cost, low data task) with kids to show off their communities." I used to use QuickTime VR for OS9, in OSX I'm using VR Worx. Above is a screen shot of the 117th Pan which in the Panoramic Scene links to Mr. Wright's 6th Grade Class. The hot spot is approximately where the room is located. The hot spot back to 117th Street is also in approximately the correct spot. Here is the link to the movie.Below is a screen shot of Mr. Wright's room
