You sum up the experiences of both being a child and being a parent in the inner city so beautifully. Growing up in London and now seeing it through my own children’s eyes this article is like something warm and familiar.

Comment on Portfolio: Todt Hill Houses by Daniel Rojo

Thanks Mitch. Since neighborhood boundaries are notoriously difficult to define, for this project we decided to use the neighborhood borders provided by Google Maps – admittedly, an imperfect solution. Further research suggests that Castleton Corners is a more appropriate designation, so we have updated our text accordingly. Thank you for the correction.

just a small correction. Todt Hill Houses was never regarded as being in emerson hill. if anything Todt Hill Houses was part of the Castleton Corners area. Emerson Hill is actually located east of Todt Hill.
There is an ongoing issue which is the Todt Hill Playground was re-named Toad Hall Playground which many of us who lived there were very upset. I have spoken to the Borough’s office and were told that is was changed because the new name represents an old English background. what this has to do with the Todt Hill Houses is nothing more then someone’s ego to make changes that they were not a part of. Still, today we have an annual Todt Hill Re-union and not a Toad Hall re-union.
