Sounds like Bushwick to me....

If it is I say hold on for the ride....the hood will look very little like it does now within 5 years. if you can get in cheap now you won't regret it.

good call.

my very first apartment was five years ago in bushwick on hart and wyckoff (how things came full circle!) but i was traumatized living there. it was totally deserted (all industrial/lofts), i got harassed all the time blah blah

now i will be living just south of broadway technically in bed-stuy but close to bushwick and i gotta say, the price is right. my room is only 575 and you really can't beat that. except for folks i know paying 400 but that is a different story.

anwyay, if you know about what the immediate area is like -- particularly parks, amenities, that stuff i would definitely appreciate it.

there's tons of shops and restaurants all up and down broadway.

goodbye blue monday is a couple blocks away, you will definitely want to check that place out. there's also a pet store nearby. i don't know much about things on the bedstuy side of broadway but from the train the area around stuyvesant and vernon look preety nice!

yes goodbye blue monday is an awesome bar! last time i was there they had $1 PBRs and there was a free show. bands were decent, but beer was cheap. and i bought an old Nikon camera from a homeless guy for $3, and it effi' works!

yeah ive been to goodbye blue monday. it is lovely.

where is this pet store, though?
thanks!

rtrain, that homeless guy is the owner!

BL, the pet shop is between dekalb and kosciusko:

pretty good for a smaller pet shop tho i wish they didn't have puppies and kittens in the window.

haha are you sure? cause he was kinda just wandering around. and he looked way too stoked when i gave him $3 (and a cigarette, he said he was nickin') for someone who owns a bar. and he scurried quickly away down Broadway. If he is the owner, he lives modestly haha.

GBM is my new bar of choice. I would be there every night if I wasn't married and slightly responsible.
