  • I walk on Sutter Avenue through the NYC neighborhoods of Brownsville & East New York to Conduit Boulevard. I also got caught in a rain storm in the middle of my walk.
    From Wikipedia:
    "Brownsville is a residential neighborhood located in eastern Brooklyn in New York City. The 1.163-square-mile (3.01 km2) area that comprises Brownsville has 58,300 residents as of the 2010 United States Census. The neighborhood's boundaries are unclear, but it is generally bordered by Crown Heights to the northwest; Bushwick and Cypress Hills to the north; New Lots to the east; Canarsie to the south; and East Flatbush to the west.
    Founded in its current incarnation in 1858, initially a settlement composed of Jewish factory workers, Brownsville underwent a major demographic change in the 1950s that saw an influx of African-American and Latino residents. Since then, it has consistently held one of the highest poverty and crime rates of any neighborhood in New York City."

      Bad weather? The hurricane in the south wiped out entire homes. Having vacationed in Wolfeboro New Hampshire for 30 years on Lake Winnipesaukee a 29 mile long lake that freezes four feet thick I've ice fished in -30°. With 6' snow drifts. That's bad weather. I love my season's and while we went to Florida starting in 1973 with a week in Florida and a week in Disney World and driving was part of the vacation I'll take the Northeast any day. As for the streets? With me a gum wrapper doesn't hit the pavement. People are pigs, we have a greater infrastructure as the job is forever ongoing.

    This was very enjoyable to watch because there was no annoying talking, which allows viewers to have their own inner dialogue.

      Artful Dodger Now it’s really Iraq vibes... Like I said I feel no matter where u are (coming from Brooklyn iono I always have this mindset) keep your guard up. I been all over Brooklyn again don’t go walking and probing, u never know I guess just growing up there I don’t feel it’s that bad we were taught how to survive and what to do, when and where not to go. Never get caught slipping Period. Not going against anyone oppinions and thoughts. My fam is on 93rd and Rutland and all thru ENY, Heights, Stuy & Flatbush. Example my ex lived in Albany houses and use to tell me call him when I’m outside, like don’t come in alone and so I did. Keep ya guard up and know how to move.
      Growing up in the bush I know we (well me) never just randomly would go to another hood just strolling. Bk had changed a lot (not Brownsville 😩) over the years. It is indeed now what I can say 90’s all over and my mom says 70’s, early 80’s. Still being born and raised, 35 years there I’m just giving my POV.
