least favourite headline. can't believe they used 'ethnics' as a noun.
"Lohan's A-list neighbors will be replaced with tough guards and fearsome lesbian gangs desperate to get their hands on her."

I went back to Brownsville with my reality-TV-show crew, they're doing a segment about my childhood racing pigeons, and Brownsville's all upscale now. They got surveillance cameras, buildings that were abandoned cost, like, a million now, and I'm thinking, My life must've been a lie, 'cause there's nothing there that looks like my childhood. This white woman come up, and I'm thinking, Wow. When I was a kid, she would've been robbed and raped and left for dead. This is a real strange scenario, and I just wanted to cry. I'm like, "Who am I? Where's my heritage?"

Beats people talking about how the pubs in Hackney aren't as spit n sawdust as they used to be.
yeah, crazy. but just fyi: brownsville is still pretty crap, it just used to a A LOT worse. certainly not truly gentrified on the scale of other sections of brooklyn.
brownsville? gentrified?
have things in brooklyn really changed that much since i left? when i was living there nobody wanted to live in brownsville.
