I LOVED every moment of walking through Harlem with Neal, our tour guide, who closes his eyes...and recalls the past as if he is actually there. I found myself transported back in time to: the club, the hair salon, the barber shop, restaurants, the speak-easy, and the church. My feet absorbed energies of those who have all walked and lived there. Neal IS SO GOOD AT taking you back in time. He tells the true and sometimes unwritten stories of our past legendary entertainers, community leaders, athletes, ministers, politicians, the no longer existing landmarks, and landmarks that still stand, such as the magnificent Apollo Theater, where you actually get to stand on the same stage that our entertainment greats have all stood... and perform whatever your talent is. Awesome, awesome, awesome! Now I am connected to the Harlem experience because my feet just walked all over there. And I will forever remember Harlem!
