I’m from Washington Heights<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where fire hydrants are left opened all summer long so the neighborhood kids can stay cool<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where loud music is the norm no matter the time of day<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where fireworks are lit up every day from late June till early August<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where you’ll be greeted by dozens of street vendors once you get to 181st<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where kids line up for $1 slices after school <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m from Washington heights <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where there’s a bodega or two on every block you step on<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where patelitos and morirso\u00f1andos are essential after a long day at the pool<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where we love to listen to Tokischa and El Alfa on full blast<\/p>\n\n\n\n
where you won’t go a day without hearing police sirens <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where Dominicans reside and flourish <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m from Washington Heights<\/p>\n\n\n\n
