"Dirty and Ugly Looking"

E. 157th Street is only a few blocks long. It has a couple of schools, but at one section of the street there is a lot of construction going on and it makes the place look ugly and dirty. I would not want to be around in this area.
Pros
  • A couple of schools in the area
Cons
  • Ugly place to be
  • Too dirty in places
