What did you think about all the hype of Y2K? Was it justified? I thought that the lights were going to go out and computers would stop running. But none of that happened. Ithink everything was just plain talk!

What effect did it have on your plans? It did not ruin my plans. Everything went good like usual. I stayed in the house with my family and partied.

What do you think the impact will be on the Harlem community in the new millenium? In Harlem I hope to see more opportunities for young people, more jobs, and new stores like Old Navy.
