I get off at Morgan Avenue on the L-line, a pretty rough neighborhood I would say. I think it's Bushwick, maybe East Williamsburg. I can see the huge Marcy housing projects from where I stand, which is in Bed-Stuy (a friend of mine told me that many high profile rappers are from the Marcy projects. Oh well).
I walk past warehouses, factories, junkyards with old cars and with rottweilers, and I see.... a bunch of young, white, hipster kids having a smoke outside an organic coffee shop. Huh? How did they end up here? And where do they live? I see no apartment buildings except for the projects, and I know they don't live there. And why does the coffee place have to be organic?
I decide to follow one of them as she stands up to leave, but around the corner she gets on a bicycle, she rides off and flips the bird to a car that drives too close to her.
Is this the "new" Williamsburg? There's always a new Williamsburg somewhere. Anywho, the reason I was in Bushwick was to take my EMS physical agility test... I passed it!!
