I agree completely. I also am very troubled by what many people mean by “hood.” That term has taken on a nasty, unnecessarily racial term and generally has come to refer to anything “black” in a negative light. He has a sore misunderstanding of that area if he’s willing to paint it so broadly that way.
I’d have to disagree with you there. That stretch of Fulton Street may lack in fine dining, but its many ethnic eateries are comfort places, and certainly “decent” restaurants, to many of the people who have called that area home for decades.
