Jim Jones: I Almost Got Robbed In Red Hook Projects In Brooklyn, For My Starter..

[NoHalfWay]

I've never been, but I imagine NYC projects to be MASSIVE.

Me neither, but my whole life I been seeing vids of these major city housing projects in NYC and the ones that use to be in Chicago like

shyts be 10 stories high with 100 buildings and shyt

Nothing like the projects down here. They be cities within cities

 

[A1aaa]

wagner houses...

pink houses...


patterson projects...


you ever visit a friend/fam in the jects in the summer? WOAT. everybody out. nikkas never applied that pressure thankfully but people are DEFINITELY watching you. every. time.

My G, my sis moved to the East Side of Harlem 5 years ago. So went up from MD to visit her. Soon as I got off the train around her spot. I see projects. Walk one block up to her street, see another project. Across from that project is another one. And then like 2 more up the street. Then the 1099 Building was round the corner.

In my mind I'm thinking how crazy was this area before gentrification and heavy police presence.

And in Brooklyn, that drive down Mother Gaston or whatever the street is in Brownsvilles with all them big ass projects right next to each other


That shiit is astonishing first time you see that shiit

you was in the treches forreal.

Jim took it back to the Starter jacket robberies in the 90s

That must've been a nationwide thing in black areas because cats stayed getting robbed/killed for Jordans and Starter jackets. Even it the Midwest. Damn shame :jimjonestear: Still had the Duke Starter tho. Never got robbed

Yup wearing a starter jacket in any major city was a good way to get jacked including the West Coast.

Brooklyn dudes, what's up with them projects around the Marcy ave train station.

Couple years back I was going to the African Food fest at the Navy yard and I had to walk past Williams and Taylor Whythe projects. And it was the most weird thing ever. Nobody was outside, in the summer too. I mean I barely saw a soul outside. I ain't no NY dude, I'm a visitor. So as soon as I see NYCHA sign I'm little leery. But it was a ghost town, the oddest thing ever.

Are those projects where all them Hasidic Jews live?

Lol I remember seeing that, it's definitely Hasidic Jews over there. South Williamsburg is predominantly Dominican Puerto Rican & Jewish, definitely nothing like the hipster Bedford Ave strip.
