Theyre in East Flatbush now :damn: :dahell: :to:

Today I was in the keyfood on Nostrand and Winthrop looking for coconut milk and there was a cac in there in right next to me, same aisle with his whole family :wow:

I swore they wasnt coming to East Flatbush but it looks like i was wrong. Ive been seeing more and more getting off on winthrop. It used to be because they'd be working at the hospital or students there but no. Whole cac families and hipsters walking on nostrand and church :pacspit: :to:

The other day I saw two hipsters riding bikes down Flatlands Ave past Pennsylvania :dead:

They've been out in that area for quite some time now. :manny: When they start living south of Church, then I'll be concerned.

I took this pic in an office for East Brooklyn expansion (I forgot the name). I spoke to the dude working there and he told me the whole area is going to look completely differently in a few years. They are working on getting an exclusive contract with a yearly jazz festival and increasing transportation.

I think I said earlier how a Jewish lady training me for my new job asked quite a few questions about the area :lupe:

Cacs shopping in the keyfood on nostrand and winthrop though? Ive seen them slowly trickle from borough hall all down now to president. Youre right tho once they start getting deep in the bush ill be concerened. I doubt it though as the train access is basically non existent south of church.

Yo i got a story tho. Last summer I met up with this chic after work one day and we get on the train to go home. Shes getting off on Beverly im getting off on Winthrop.

About 7-8 hipster cacs get on the train at wall street. We riding the train talking about gentrification and what not and we made a bet to see if we could guess where these cacs is getting off at. I said atlantic, she said borough hall. We were both wrong.
We get to Sterling and the cacs still on the train and both of us are like :wtf: :merchant: :skip: where are these cacs going.

I get off they still on the train. Tell me why shorty was like when the train left winthrop the lead woman cac were like "one more stop almost there. This is where the jerk chicken is. Then when we're done, we come back we can go to our last stop at Flatbush ave" Shorty said she almost fell out on the floor. Cacs going on tour in the hood :dead:

:russ: They've finally figured out what they're doing with that area behind it? I remember thinking like 10 years ago that houses were going up there. All this time later and it still mostly looks the same.

if i see cacs at Juve tomorrow night i've gotta leave BK. it's over.

they been going to that shyt. the last time i went, prob 2-3 yrs ago, there were a few white girls wining down the place and this white boy was pushing up on my cousin. As far as i see it the the flood is unstoppable. most of these hoods won't be completely white though crown heights, east flatbush, flatbush, etc would be mixed.

Let's face it. 10-20 years from now, everyone that's currenty living in NYC is just going to get priced the fukk out.

The only people that will be able to enjoy this city are the rich and wealthy. It will just be impossible for working to middle class people to live here.

This is what they're doing with the area. Its gonna be mixed income rentals with another mini shopping plaza. I saw a deli, and a barber shop already. They're bringing an Asian sit down and an organic burger shop :heh:

You already have the Nehemiah homes

Never say never brehs. If they do some drastic increases to transportation, its a wrap for this area.

I never want to see a white person in my life again. What am I going to do? Moving isn't an option.
