I want to show my fam where I grew up. Haven't been there since 1999. Pic are pending. Wish me luck!

Update:

Got off the train @

The Ville has change since I moved out. I noticed a lot new construction. I would never move back, but it make me what I'm today.

Good god that town is

Theres an ad for some liquor on Rockaway Ave with celebrities in it. I'm pretty sure one of em is Babyface? Anyways the people on BILLBOARDS look like they don't want to be there.

I remember passing by the park on Thomas Boyland & Dumont and noticed they had the old painted wooden playground sets still up.

Was driving past their on my way back to Manhattan during my stay in NYC. Saw a bunch of dusty n1ccas outside. Just some grimey a$$ looking dudes. Gentrification didn't reach that part of Brownsville yet, it looked rundown and sh1tty.

I dont think East New York will ever get Truly Gentrified.. Although I do hear there are some whites and Asians in the area now

Soon all Poor Minorities in Brooklyn will have to relocate there or the Dusty ass Bronx

I don't think it ever will, no subway

And the East NY LIRR stop is : merchant:

Mike Tyson went back to Brownsville not to long ago and he said its much nicer than it was when he was living there in the 80s, which is crazy as Brownsville is really rough today, imagine how it was in the 80s

He also claim he saw white people there, don't see why any white person would go to Brownsville unless their job requires it (i.e NYPD or FDNY).

Remember this white dude was dating this black chick that lived in Brownsville, anyway he went to visit her and as he was walking down the stairs from the 3 train station the local goons in the area asked him where a certain street was (This is a trick question to figure out if a unfamiliar person lives in that area), anyway he didn't know so they jumped him and broke his guitar

Dude came to work after it happened with a black eye.



Remember reading this on City Data a while back.
