SO Im watching the tube as usually and happen to flip by MTV. (I only watch Run's House and the occasional True Life) and there is a clip for the new Real World. At first you see BK Bridge and then theres a hip white guy with a faux hawk. Im like oh S*!@# Why.
Well I was raised in BK and for the last 24 years (23 1/2 if you count my stint in Stint in SC) Brooklyn will always be seen as the hood to me. I mean yeah we have Prospect Heights and what not, But growing up we had East NY, Bed STuy, Flatbush, Crown Heights. It was a balancing act of neighborhoods. The Hasidic community in Canarsie to the Italians in Bensonhurst and hippies in DUMBO/Cobble Hill. Hell there are mansions in BAY Ridge( I've seen them when I got lost going to Kings Plaza Mall)
Now most of the neighborhoods are being gentrified. Mainly due to the housing boom of the past 4 years. I mean my Family pays 700 a month for rent. So it stills tickles me to see a college type kid getting off the A at Broadway Junction.
On Wednesday Jan 7th at 10 I will boost up my MTV viewing and tune in for the first episode. I hope they show the good the bad and the ugly of our fine borough.
