That’s a tiny block. Didn’t really ring bells like that.

Yea it’s a CT dead end

Six seconds in, my sleep shorts and t shirt turned into a shiny jean suit with matching doo rag from watching this video

Empire should come back for real.

If you were in this hood when the D train was the main train running with the Q being express then you legit.

That was bad bad place back then. My cousins in Philly lived on Parkside between Bedford and Rogers.

Very hot block. Even the roaches were gangster walking on nikkas faces while they slept.

Cortelyou and Flatbush is still alive as far as being black.

Cortelyou by the q train stop is another story

I remember people steady outside chilling when I lived on President street and Schenectady. Good times. They was drug dealers but they didnt harm us. They actually told us to go back inside when it got dark. But back in July I went back to NYC and I barely seen anyone hanging out outside like before.

Cortelyou Q stop seems super diverse, lots of blacks whites and Mexicans walking around

Arguably the most gentrified street in Western Flatbush (or Ditmas Park) in my opinion. Church Ave west of the Q train doesn’t have the same buzz.

Blame technology. People don’t do outside activities no more like back in the day.

Back in the day everything fun was outside.

But I’ll say this. In the Bronx and Harlem people still be outside heavy. Brooklyn not really unless you in Brownsville.

Even in Philly it was like that . I remember going to the store seeing drug dealers playing stick ball because "boredom". Dudes knew me as my uncle's nephew. shyt was like a tighter bond in them days. I don't even know what's happening anymore. The feeling is lost sadly...

It seems to be Hispanic people keeping that alive. Even in Bushwick a lot of them chill on the sidewalks, and some of them chill at the mechanic shops

True, but west of E16 is way less dense and lots of those Victorian houses are owned by Jews
