My comment was used in a Gothamist article, published online today. The article was in response the local real estate hype about my current neighborhood. Supposedly I live in ‘Quooklyn’ now. Excuse me while I roll my eyes…
Someone contacted me, and gave me a heads up, asking if I wanted to send my thoughts. Just as luck would have it, I was still half asleep, due to pulling some breakneck shifts. When I sent the comment in, I should’ve been more mindful with my grammar. Then again, sometimes riding the carousel, when you see that brass ring, you just gotta go for it. Especially when it’s about a subject such as gentrification.
I’ll speak about gentrification another time. Meanwhile, here’s some past blog posts featuring photographs and thoughts about my area:
