What may be right, look at this PDF with lots of Brooklyn condos on it.

> Boston was far more racist.

Oh so true, Boston is the only place I've ever been called the n word to my face. The bigot was a high-school aged girl and the year was 2001. Quite jolting for someone who worked and went to school in the deep south with no such open hostility.

Regarding the debate, there is no use in talking about a topic where no one wants to honestly assess how quickly Ft. Greene has changed in the past 5 years. The perfect example is the Soul Summit that used to be held every Sunday afternoon in Ft. Greene Park. This popular event attracted all classes and colors and was generally regarded as a uniquely Ft. Greene experience. A few years ago Brooklyn Record had a posting about it and there were comments made about the Summit attracting dangerous looking people, which was a complete lie. Fast forward to 2009 and the event is only allowed to be held once the entire summer, much to the disappointment of the promoters and attendees. What is a reasonable person supposed to think is the cause behind the roadblocks the promoter has had to deal with every year?

Not to pile on here, but i think even a middle office worker at a real hedge fund or wall street desk would realize that DIBS is a complete fraud. My jaw drops in disbelief at some of the things I have read him post on here.

I always enjoy going to Let Petit Cafe for brunch. The garden area is eclectic but tasteful, and the food can't be beat for the price. I wish we had something like this in Ft. Greene.
