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?

Duh. It’s called HALF OFF!

You aint kidding Dave!! The trees over here are swaying in the wind like you wouldn’t believe.
You guys have about 10 minutes before it gets to you.
“Yeah, BHO, someone’s manipulating Case & Schiller.
Why do the nutcases always resort to conspiracy theory when the data isn’t going their way???????”
They only refer to short term month-to-month change while on national TV (the ultimate popular opinion controller). And even then, NYC didn’t make the cut. What about the long term YOY change? They don’t wanna talk about that. That IS going my way – down, down, down (as is month-to-month here in NYC). But yes, conspiracy theory is pure rhetoric if you can’t prove it – I’ll give you that (even though I “KNOW” those guys are paid off to spin their numbers). Doesn’t matter though – I know how to decode the spin (that’s what it is).
Go’head. Get the last word.

Snark, welcome to the hood, eventhough I am a few blocks off from Ditmas Park. Will you be joining sixyears and myself at Sycamore at some point?
I’ve never heard of white balsamic…what brand do you use? Does it taste the same?

Damn, it’s raining. I was hoping to grill up some burgers.
I’m going to have to pull out the Foreman grill instead.
My new favorite kick is the white balsamic….I could chug it out the bottle.
Kinda expensive, I only use it when I don’t want something getting stained from the regular balsamic like a hot potato salad.
Ha ha, first Randi is a women, now a men (as per the profile). So Dave, it’s back to Randi being a tranny for now.
