More boutiques, more strollers, more white people, more coffee shops, more high-end grocers like Union Market coming. It’s a glass half-empty sorta thing (“Fort Greene has acquired a distinctly less edgy vibe.

Men and Men…Woman and Woman.
I know it’s a foreign concept to you, but whisper it with me…WE ARE GAY!
