Bushwick Blog in the Big Time. Blog.
And finally: the New York Times. No big deal for Brownstoner or Curbed. Big deal for us. I’m happy to share my section of the article with BedStuyBlog, though I don’t remember saying I was “thrilled by the arrival of Bed-Stuy Blog in March” since I’m pretty sure it existed before I even moved to Bushwick…oh well. Another bit absent from the article is how upon being asked about the Brooklyn blogging “community,” I stuttered for a bit before saying something to the tune of “I don’t get it. I blog about my neighborhood, but I’m not really sure what it means to be a ‘community.’” Maybe I’ll get it at the Blogade Greenpoint Meetup. Anyway, it would have just mucked up a great fluff story.
For the record, I have absolutely no idea what the title of the article, “Cracker-Barrel 2.0,” means. I’m sure it has something to do with my deep literary ignorance.
Hey! I was glad to hear that you were “thrilled” and now you’re saying that they misquoted you? When did you move to Bushwick? I only started this blogging in March.
Well, in any case I was thrilled when BushwickBK arrived on the scene. And you can quote that!
congratulations, despite the misquoting. i guess like it or not, there is a blog community across the various neighborhood sites. usually though i think the best-functioning communities are the ones that talk about ‘community’ the least.
i guess i understand their use of cracker barrel, but i just keep pictureing that old-timey chain restaurant of the same name. or that cheese spread. hmmm, maybe that’s what they were referencing.
My husband spotted the article first and forwarded me the link – congrats!
JL, you gotta explain the Cracker Barrel thing, I don’t get it.
GPT Meet-up: So far it is shaping up to be a pretty diverse lot. Still have a few more people to email, tho…
congrats to jeremy on the recognition!
keep up the good work talking about this neighborhood. so many have choose to ignore it, but it’s making a come back.
