  • I walk on Sutter Avenue through the NYC neighborhoods of Brownsville & East New York to Conduit Boulevard. I also got caught in a rain storm in the middle of my walk.
    From Wikipedia:
    "Brownsville is a residential neighborhood located in eastern Brooklyn in New York City. The 1.163-square-mile (3.01 km2) area that comprises Brownsville has 58,300 residents as of the 2010 United States Census. The neighborhood's boundaries are unclear, but it is generally bordered by Crown Heights to the northwest; Bushwick and Cypress Hills to the north; New Lots to the east; Canarsie to the south; and East Flatbush to the west.
    Founded in its current incarnation in 1858, initially a settlement composed of Jewish factory workers, Brownsville underwent a major demographic change in the 1950s that saw an influx of African-American and Latino residents. Since then, it has consistently held one of the highest poverty and crime rates of any neighborhood in New York City."

      Bad weather? The hurricane in the south wiped out entire homes. Having vacationed in Wolfeboro New Hampshire for 30 years on Lake Winnipesaukee a 29 mile long lake that freezes four feet thick I've ice fished in -30°. With 6' snow drifts. That's bad weather. I love my season's and while we went to Florida starting in 1973 with a week in Florida and a week in Disney World and driving was part of the vacation I'll take the Northeast any day. As for the streets? With me a gum wrapper doesn't hit the pavement. People are pigs, we have a greater infrastructure as the job is forever ongoing.

Speaking of such, look up early video documentaries of New York and other cities and you’ll get the same glimpse into the past.

      Artful Dodger Now it’s really Iraq vibes... Like I said I feel no matter where u are (coming from Brooklyn iono I always have this mindset) keep your guard up. I been all over Brooklyn again don’t go walking and probing, u never know I guess just growing up there I don’t feel it’s that bad we were taught how to survive and what to do, when and where not to go. Never get caught slipping Period. Not going against anyone oppinions and thoughts. My fam is on 93rd and Rutland and all thru ENY, Heights, Stuy & Flatbush. Example my ex lived in Albany houses and use to tell me call him when I’m outside, like don’t come in alone and so I did. Keep ya guard up and know how to move.
      Growing up in the bush I know we (well me) never just randomly would go to another hood just strolling. Bk had changed a lot (not Brownsville 😩) over the years. It is indeed now what I can say 90’s all over and my mom says 70’s, early 80’s. Still being born and raised, 35 years there I’m just giving my POV.

Brooklyn does not look like it did in the early 70’s and 80’s. And if you experienced some type of racial behavior here in Brooklyn, it may have been instigated; don’t come to Brooklyn with racism (facial expression, movements or words).

    Really get to know a lot more about the entire NYC watching these videos. But keep yourself safe, AK. We don't want anything happen to you while we are entertained.

    Going in the early morning, smart move, most all still sleeping,still walking alone in a rough neighborhood at anytime is risky, next time bring a friend.

    I was just out there a month ago. I wouldn’t say it’s that dangerous and I lived in ENY since I was in 3rd grade.

    I was so scared for you ActionKid! Some parts of NYC are just a No No! Glad you’re safe though!🙏🏽❤️
