I haven’t been in BK much the last 10 yrs.
But in the 90s especially 89-94 Brooklyn really was the Wild West. I was living in VanderVille PJs, and the last straw forcing us to move to Jersey was my sister getting robbed in the elevator for all our groceries.
Growing up as kid you had to have a bit of Savage in you in that environment or you was food. It definitely carry with me moving to Jersey (Trenton) which was a typical hood but no where compared to Brooklyn.
My first job was at a store like 3 blocks away from Vandaveer, I was 15. Second week on the job, my boss sends me to the store. In the store it had to be a nikka that was at least 34 asking me what type of cell phone I got and "whats in my pocket" I ignored him and he kept following me out the store until he saw I worked at the store. From then on I just kept something on me everyday to work there
