    Hi HoodVlogs. I’m new to the channel, but definitely respect the mission of giving people an opportunity to share their truths about where they’re from. If you ever think about highlighting other complexes in Brooklyn Cooper, Marcy, Bushwick, Pink Houses, Williamsburg are other areas. I’m sure they all have stories to share too. Peace and blessings to all in every neighborhood. New subscriber.

I left "Brooklyn" but it did not leave me I learned a lot in "Brooklyn" it is a different learning compared to other area in The Boroughs.

      The Pink Houses in East New York would be a good one to do.

The fact that he had his gun out gives the impression that's a very dangerous projects.

    My dad's furniture studio is in red hook so I got to know the area pretty good even though I'm from downtown Brooklyn. Red hook has a special vibe, it's got the salt air from the ocean and lowkey at night even though it's so close to the city. People are in general more laid back and less wound up but the projects can still get active sometimes. I think you should hit Far Rockaway. It's a community that was hit hard from hurricane sandy and has a bad reputation for crime but like all hoods got some dope people out there. It's on the south shore so you got a mix of surf shops and Caribbean soul food joints. No neighborhood like it.

Sometimes we just need grassroots leadership, to find out what businesses we can infiltrate inside our own communities & then take them over, just like they do to us, & we call it “Culture Appropriation.” Then We need be very polite & business like, while Boycotting these non black, & foreign businesses, who don’t contribute anything back into the Hood that they exploit. Say what you want about the NOI, but when he was alive, Khalid Abdul Muhammad used to go around to all of these neighborhood stores with the FOI, & collect money from these Non Black Businesses, especially the Arab Muslims. The ones who didn’t give up no bread, got put on full blast & boycotted, simple. Every example for us to rise again as a People has BEEN HERE!

    Lived in Redhook for many years and left almost 10 years ago. Its a great neighborhood. A lot of culture. At its root its a beautiful place. A lot of movies, shows, and music videos are filmed out there. Can find great food any time of the day. So many great people and just like NYC in general some larger than life personalities, i mean it the block is hilarious. Ack in the store is hilarious too and he makes some off the hook sandwiches. Sadly they buggin out there right now though and its a shame whats going on. We gotta do better ya. Its just sometimes the hood seems like it has a dark cloud over it. I saw it come together last year over a tragedy. It shouldnt have to be like that though. RIP Shock Los. Love.

      I missed being there. We used to lived there from 1988 until 1992, and my grandmother used to lived there for a long time. This is the projects that I missed. I still remember them, they had playgrounds, walkways and basketball courts. These bring back memories. I remember when we first seen my grandmother was back around 1979 or 1980 since I was still a baby.
