It was another popping weekend in Brooklyn, so many venues to enjoy. I started this weekend looking outside my front door. I live in that latest area to be the refuge to those folk that make kool, kewl. I mean to say the riders of the edge of Bohemia, some call them artist, but hey to me life is art so we are all artist. Some can afford to live like an artist some like to eat, and I for one never thought the starving artist was a goal for me.
I live on the edge on bedstuy and bushwick, and it is a wonderful time to be here watching the neighborhood change. As for those that call it gentrification, I say where were you when they shoot DJ Hollywood. If you don't know what I am talking about then you have know idea how bad it was. I like the change and welcome it, the change brings diversity and even better it brings good restaurants.
I remember being run out of Ft Green because I wasn't from there, now I am here hanging out at the AfroPunk festival. I am like being able to hang out in Brooklyn and enjoy the flava that is my HOOD from Gowanus to Flatbush , Brooklyn is my home. BedStuy is where I live and it is from here
where I watch the change up close and personal.
