Changeling, I know the politico stuff may not be your fotray but just ranting about the bad stuff in Bed Stuy is not going to change things. I assume you are here for a reason, be it financial, convenience or otherwise. Take the time to educate yourself about the political process here in the 36th and 41st. How it works and how you can be a prt of it.To Saquan Jones enough already with the shameless plugs! You probably won’t post my comment anyways as you tend to sensor valid points of opinion that counter your hippie-gentrifictaion views.FYI, I don’t lurk around waiting to post negative comments on Bed Stuy Blog!!
