    I grew up in Drew Hamilton and Polo Grounds, my dad retired from Drew Hamilton projects Housing Authority, born and raised in Harlem hospital in 1985. I lived in 2698 on the 6 floor. I lived in 2937 in Polo on the 28th floor. Each building has 31 floors. I loved growing up in Harlem and it really didnt seem as bad as they making it seem, maybe because my family was known so i was untouched.

Kingston is small and whenever civilians get caught up in the law there, they run to Spanish Town because it’s huge city and whenever civilians get caught up in the law in Spanish Town, they hideout in Kingston.
