The 20th anniversary of the release of Spike Lee’s ground-breaking movie Do The Right Thing, which dealt with a day in the life of a block in Bed Stuy, and in so doing brought the multi-layered issues of gentrification race coexistence and conflict in the inner city to a broader national audience. Two decades later, how much has changed and how much remains the same?

Dave, I don’t wanna publish the name of the store on this blog, but believe me, this particular store does it. They even have cereal on their shelves that expired in 2007. Considering that cereal usually has an expiration date about 3-4 years from when you actually buy it, I actually think they are buying discounted old stuff from some distributor. The same goes for some of their milk and yogurt. I’ve also seen oranges in that store with spots that are darker than me (for those of you who haven’t met me, just trust me when I say you don’t want fruit that’s my shade!)
“makes me wanna saw off my fingers with a rusty butter knife”
Yeah, that or poke myself in the eye with a fork, either way….same difference.
It’s bad alright, and we were in Queens, the attorneys were saying Brooklyn is WORSE! I cannot begin to imagine…
“Does anyone know if pork belly cooks up well on a coal bbq? i’ve only made it a few times, but slow roasted it.”
slow roast it then you can put it in one of those grill basket things like you would use for a whole fish and grill it for 30 minutes. that way you get the outside crispy but it is tender throughout.
Who the hell is doing that, Snappy?? Even the bodegas don’t stoop that low.

LOL ENY 🙂 I should have expected that!
Surrogate’s Court is almost as bad as housing or small claims court….makes me wanna saw off my fingers with a rusty butter knife 🙁 Luckily I don’t do Trusts & Estates anymore so I havent’ had to deal with that for a long time.
Gem…I’m a plain jane when it comes to my cereal…I buy raisin bran, cheerios and wheat chex.
