Going on a road trip to Brownsville, Brooklyn

[Mike Ock]

I want to show my fam where I grew up. Haven't been there since 1999. Pic are pending. Wish me luck!

Update:

Got off the train @

The liquor store still there damn!

My old building

Many so called "hood nikkas" in here will never walk on these blocks

---

The Ville has change since I moved out. I noticed a lot new construction. I would never move back, but it make me what I'm today.

yo I lived over there for like 5yrs, in the co-ops right on rockaway and hegamen...across from that junior hs...it was mad weird, the co-op block was cool, but once u crossed the street off the property, shyt got real...my fam had a sweet spot too, we had 3 nice bedrooms and a 2 bathroom spot with a terrace..i was in like jhs back then so I didn;t know exactly how real it was,being that it was all i been around..after a while my mom ...then got on some and we packed up and got the fuk outta there. But i def remember those walks from the rockaway ave stop...it was like a 5 or 6 long ass blocks walk to my house,shyt felt like Boyz-n-the hood when the kids found the dec body...Brownsville is where I first started fukin with the chicken spot and chinese food spot.

I ain't never chilled out there since I moved away in like 1999.

they have the 3 and the L train.


North Bx is pretty rough as well, heard stories of the goons there stealing police cars, shootings right across the street from the actual Precinct...

North BX is no walk in the park unless you live in Co op City or something.


Canarsie and Flatbush are the best black neighborhoods in NYC

As well as some parts of Queens near the LI border.

Someone definitely knows his shyt queens also..but it don't have that Brooklyn feel...ENY and Brownsville are better in general from what they used to be...but you still can get caught slipping if you on some random shyt and don't know anybody...as a kid in the 90's tho Brooklyn was sooo grimey...crack done had everybody fukked up

How come they don't name the public schools in NY?

How come they don't name the public schools in NY?

The High Schools in NYC are named..

Real names like MLK Highschool. Everytime I hear someone reference a NY public school it's always something like PS 3.

I could be wrong though.

The answer is in the post you quoted. HS have names, elementary and intermediate don't.

That place doesn't look that bad at all, I would stay out there.

smh...I remember I was on Creston ave a few years back and fukking shoot out happened in daylight as I entered my homies building

wack ass 46th precinct. I can remember many a day at my elementary school where some shyt would go down and the principal would always tell us "i you have a problem, tell a police officer. The 46th precinct is on their job and doing everything they can to protect you."

Even 3rd and 4th graders were like when they'd hear that shyt over the PA system
