ReadingIn the 1970s, people saw New York as a dying city. It was known for crime and homeless people, and many thought that it would never recover. However, New York City today is a center of business and fashion. The neighborhood of SoHo is a great example of this.

ReadingSoHo is a neighborhood in the southern part of Manhattan Island. In the early 20th century, SoHo was filled with factories and poor immigrants. After those factories closed, much of the area was deserted.

ReadingThen in the 1960s, many poor artists began to illegally live in these empty buildings that used to be factories. This had an interesting effect, and the area soon became a famous artistic neighborhood. The city eventually passed laws that allowed artists to live in SoHo legally. People visited SoHo to look at art and be seen with them. Before long, galleries and stores opened, and SoHo was considered very fashionable.

ReadingAt the same time, New York City began to crack down on crime, and its economy improved. Today, SoHo is an expensive area. The spaces that artists once rented cheaply have been rebuilt and sold for millions of dollars. Meanwhile, nice clothing stores and restaurants have opened, and lots of tourists visit every year.
