Well, it’s not exactly an ethnographic study, but in parts it reads like one.  A mysterious New Yorker, who goes by the moniker “Krull” in forum-land, and who has posted over 2000 posts to SkyscraperCity  (once exclusively dedicated to the subject of tall buildings, now all things urban), decided to do a little state report on Bushwick, Brooklyn.  I really do think it reads best if you imagine it slapped on a cardboard triptych on a folding table in a high school gymnasium — with glossy print out images and sticky cut and paste captions below.

He calls it “The Hipster Life in Bushwick.” Hipster, which is adorably defined as “young not-so-rich people,” is seemingly not a dirty word in the language of the post, which is utterly confusing and adorable.  I found about 16 pictures of myself, so it may be worth a look to see if you’ve been honorably mentioned in the cast of visual characters who “create some visual art, performances, readings, acting, etc…” or “just do weird things just to be amuse…”  Next stop: Encyclopedia Britannica!
