It covers a lot of ground, including Bed Stuy’s heritage, beautiful brownstones, distinguished residents such as the late Shirley Chisholm, rapidly escalating rents, crime and Bed Stuy’s family-friendly environment. We recognize Peaches, Scratchbread, Bed Stuy Fish Fry and lots of other local businesses.
Brownstoner commenter and real estate agent and preservationist Morgan Munsey, Georges-Andre Vintage Cafe owner Karine Petitnicolas (aka SuperFrench), and Eduardo Mantelli of Saraghina all have cameos — as do many others. What do you think of it?

Nicely presented, but I think we’re definitely getting very close to the “too much of a good thing” point. We should just hush up now, at least until we get the remaining four proposed historic districts designated.
Seems sensitive and well produced to me.
Innocent mistake. “Montrose Morris” often defends Morgan Munsey on this site, and they lead tours together. The double-trochaic double-M names are confusing. Morgan Munsey is a male real estate agent who appears in the video above. “Montrose Morris” is a female writer and a preservationist posting under a man’s name.
I have found that newcomer owners are incredibly invested. Renters, maybe less so.
