Ah, the air always smells sweeter at home. Good to be back in the Borough..not that I ever really left. This will be a forum for me to express my personal views about Brooklyn aka. The Borough and document a way of life that is loosing ground.
The biggest thing for me has been admitting that not only is NYC not the place where I grew up anymore: Brooklyn is fast becoming a place I don't recognize. Aside from ranting about bad and shady development (we hate Ratner!) and the obvious ploys of Mayor Moneyburg ( I mean Bloomburg) - it goes beyond gentrification, and rich white people moving in - I feel more and more that Brooklyn is lost to me - and is it something I need to find or do, something I need to rediscover, reevaluate and try to rise above. or is it just friggin time to "Get out of Dodge".
