About a year and a half ago, I moved to Bedford Stuyvesant with my husband and young child. During this time, I have really come to appreciate my new nabe. Although it must not be news to longtime residents, Bedford Stuyvesant is one of the most interesting neighborhoods in New York City. Artists, working class people, professionals, students, musicians, new immigrants, old and storied families all live in this huge section of Brooklyn. As a writer, the gorgeous architecture and history inspires. As a mother of a young child, the lack of activities and services for children is frustrating. Finally, as an individual interested in the revitalization of this community, the potential for growth overwhelms me...in a good way.
There are a few blogs that cover Bedford Stuyvesant, and they all do an amazing job. Bed Stuy Blog is one of my favorites. My hope is that I can contribute a new perspective- one of a new neighbor, who wants to show off her new nabe, question why certain things are the way they are, and chat about the best and worst of Bed Stuy. Hope you will join me.
