In the Hood [5] - Guy Jantic

Feel the beat of this hip story about an urban community on the brink of ruin. The corner of 159th Street and 43rd Avenue is a lively neighborhood. Kids play hopscotch while the shop owners take care of their businesses. There’s a rhythm to it all, led by neighborhood teens who keep the beat on plastic buckets. But kind, old Mr. Fineburg is in money trouble and is about to lose all the buildings he owns thanks to Mr. Guy Jantic. The greedy businessman is threatening to purchase the properties and turn the street into a state-of-the-art parking lot. Mr. Fineburg’s tenants, who are also his friends, get together with other residents to try to save their “hood.” It looks like they’re doomed to failure until that wonder of our age — modern social media — saves the day.see less
