There is a thriving art scene and according to retail experts (if there are such a thing) bushwick is the next up and coming neighborhood.

Now there's very little vacant space, tons of renovations, and a fair amount of new construction.<BR/><BR/>As the pics indicate, there's still lots of crap in the area, but the photographer is not taking random pics of the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-32189808228882569582009-03-24T09:35:00.000-04:002009-03-24T09:35:00.000-04:00People used to say the very same thing about Avenu...People used to say the very same thing about Avenue B. There is no place proximate to the city that cannot be gentrified.<BR/><BR/>In the 1970s urban living was not popularly appealing. If - and I doubt this will happen because of the cost of gas - non-urban living becomes attractive once again, cities will once again decay.

Unless of course, the economy and the lack of yunnie-generated taxes push these poor people into even more depressed, poorer areas making room for future developers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
