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.

etson- I don’t evaluate him except on the basis of what he does. How you could have possibly read anything else into what I wrote is beyond me. What I do appreciate is his historic place.

does the Ctown on 9th street in PS sell roasted chickens?

Arkady…Hiya! I’m getting around better now. I may be able to do without the cane by next week, but the faux shoe and foot wrap remains for a while longer. I’m currently rolling my foot across a tennis ball (supposed to be a good form of therapy to help stretch out and exercise the tendon.) Who knew tennis balls cost so much! No one seems to sell them in sets less than 12. I got fed up, went to Petland Discounts, and bought two tennis ball dog toys for a total of $2.00 – Hot damn!
Hey Snappy! Yes, how is the footie?
What’s with the topics in the OT? Will we be discussing Iraq being returned to the Iraqis tomorrow?! Wha…..
