Here is a photo of Frantz, a Haitian tourist on a New York City tour bus in Time Square.

I cannot tell you much about Frantz except that at the time this photo was taken, we were hanging out in New York City in a very touristic kind of way!

If you live in Spring Valley NY, then you know where Pascack Road and Old Nyack Turnpike intersects...

For those of you just passing thorugh Spring Valley New York, this is the first intersection you see when you get off the Garden State Parkway from New Jersey. and the last intersection you see when you are leaving spring valley to get on I-287

I've crossed this intersection many times in my years as a resident of Spring Valley NY.

There is a large Haitian community in Spring Valley NY. If you are just passing through, be sure to stop in Spring Valley for some Haitian food and some "Paté" Oké???
