A reader steered us to the photographs from a 2003 exhibition at the Robin Rice Gallery in the West Village. The photographer Micheal McLaughlin took a number of atmospheric black-and-white photos of Brooklyn scenes and landmarks, including the childhood home of Biggie Smalls and the Brooklyn Heights apartment of Truman Capote. We know that Capote’s place was on Willow Street and we’ve always been under the impression that Biggie lived on St. James Place in Clinton Hill. Can anyone i.d. the exact address of this apartment building?

my back didtn mean to flood its just that it kept saying post error
I live on grand around gates and to be honest this block is white and so are the others around, there’s no hood in this place anymore. I mean its not like i’ll it miss or has missed it cause im only 24 and my uncles were the 1’s running wild, but just seeing all of these cracker’s saddens me now, its like they walk down the block like they been here for years. I mean i didnt grow up in the bedstuy/fortgreene when it was super gangster (Grew up in 46 st edwards street projects) but sh!t was crazy then 2 i mean we used to have to fight kids from marcy coming from school and me being in the middle wasnt kool, but i survived and it feels like now that i’ve been thrue this stuff and that mahnhatton is starting to get expensive to everybody not just crackers, that whites and asians are flooding brooklyn (My girl is filip and shes been here for 9 years so she gets my respect) another thing thats funny is that i notice the white people around here try there damnest not to look at the ethnic people in there faces and speed burst down the block as if “yeah i’ll live in this hood<---lol but i wont stroll thrue(through)it" anyway i don't see a change in the fuftre so i guess my views have to change and i need to catch up to old 7 heaven re-runs... And 1 last fun fact is that 2pac used to really come to bigg's house and chill. Sad about what happened to them though.
