Goodbye Brooklyn

This past weekend i left one of the best boroughs I lived in since I been in NYC. Yet again i have only lived in 2!.

I will miss Brooklyn with all it offered me while I was there.  The culture, streets, stoops, cafes, and the energy i felt as i walked over the Brooklyn Bridge.  It is truly an overwhelming experience that I can not put into words.

With that said I now embrace my new home in the Bronx.  Truth be told there is something about the Bronx that sat deep down with me when I first moved here.  With its loud streets, baby carriages, Goya stocked products at supermarkets and Puerto Rican history, the Bronx is a place you either love or hate.

I met a woman who I met here that told me that she had never left the Bronx in her life.  HER LIFE!.  I was taken back by this and thought to myself, “This lady needs no other place, knows no other place, and will mostly die in this place”  Call it what you want: pride, un-acculturation, naive, – to some there is no place like the Bronx.  You dig?
