6 Train - Cypress Ave. (Day 3, 4:56 p.m., stop #143)
Out: Between Cypress and Jackson , Cypress itself is tree-lined and mostly has tenements. This excludes, though, the “Iglesia de Dios”, a low-slung, one-story church that looks like it used to be a strip club. There is also a community center that looks welcoming. Ethnically the neighborhood looks to be a mix of black and Hispanic.
