I always look forward to Memorial day weekend because it marks the beginning of barbecue season for my family. Barbecues are my favorite family event, this is where you get to hear stories from the old timers about how things used to be in the borough. It’s always been interesting to hear these stories particularly [...]

I didn’t realize when I made my post yesterday that it was Biggie’s birthday. RIP, my friend…

Legendary Hood Spot#2
197 St.James place is one of those buildings that can easily be over looked when walking around perusing the neighborhood.

My Childhood Bedroom…with a view

The main difference from this vantage point in my youth to now is the Twin Towers once stood prominently within this view, which made it even more beautiful. Another thing is the trees [...]
The Huxtables in Fort Greene
Now if you’re in my age demographic or even a little younger, I’m almost positive that nine times out of ten, at eight o’clock on a Thursday night, you were in front of the boob tube eagerly awaiting to watch “The Cosby Show”. After watching a sitcom for various years, you’re prone to notice certain things, that [...]
Where Putnam starts…
