the gentrification in a neighborhood in Bklyn
04.17.05 (10:19 pm) [edit]It was unthinkable back in the time when I moved in six years ago that we have even a cafe. Now that the cafe culture is flourishing finally in my neighborhood, I don't need to go all the way to the Park Slope area, which is the representative of the few well off neighborhoods in Bklyn, just to grab a cup of coffee and sit down to do a small reading or contemplation in the morning. Now we have two within a couple of blocks from my apartment. It is a good start of spring; I cleand and made my room workable. Now I have got some cozy places out to sit down in the neighborhood, what can I ask more? I live in somewhere between Park Slope and Sunset Park. This area used be the poorest immigrants' area where people could have their garbadge removed less frequently and people tried to dumped here their even bigger shit such as the power plant, which is right in front of the water. However, some kind of gentrification is going on. The cafe culture is the undenyable effect of it. The area is yet to be cozy but apparently improved.
