Comments on: The Beginning of The End http://jacksongtickle.com/2005/05/16/the-beginning-of-the-end/ Sponsored by the Black hand side, Fantasia's English teacher and Frederick Douglass' hairstylist Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:31:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: singing http://jacksongtickle.com/2005/05/16/the-beginning-of-the-end/comment-page-1/#comment-402 singing Wed, 18 May 2005 16:57:06 +0000 http://jacksongtickle.com/2005/05/16/the-beginning-of-the-end/#comment-402 X said it well, where you seen Yuppie stores...they are not to far behind. I actually live in the area called "Morningside Heights" and you should see my neighbors (one being Marcia Gay Harden, the actress.). They just walk down the street with no fear in their hearts right by the drug dealers at all times of the night. Some are so sick of living in the 'burbs they want to make their commute to work more easy. For example, I live near 125th St. I have acess to everybus that runs down the main streets (5th, 8th and Broadway) and there are only 3 train stops to my job...which I get to in 15 minutes. When you compare that to their travel time, up to an hour on Metro-North, who has it easier? This colored girl. But we all knew, after they saw the revitalization of the communities, they weren't going to stay away long. And last thought....a 600K house is hella cheap now. Houses in the community where I grew up (Mt. Morris Park Area) are going for over 1 million dollars. They will pay anything to be back in the city.

My neighborhood in BK went from a cracked out, run down area with your traditional bullet proof glass at the chinese spot to day spas, organic supermarkets and cafes with soy mochas in less than two years. There was an article about this in New York magazine not too long ago... http://www.newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/realestate/neighborhoods/features/11775/index.html I’m living in it right now.

However, only difference is, I don't expect THEIR white people to ever come back. lol.

We're just being displaced. Because best believe, the "Us" they are moving out have to go somewhere. Where they go is where the hood will go. I don’t think we’ve lost the hood.

Ownership. I'm lucky to know someone that owns some sjit in Harlem. But I guess that's the lesson from all this. WE HAVE TO LEARN TO OWN SOME SJIT. So this kind of thing won't happen.

Usually after 96th street, there are NO white people on the train...But slowly, there were still white faces present at 110th street, 116th street, and then good God at 125th street, the center of Harlem! That's when I knew they were here to stay, lol. I live in NYC too, and I noticed white people were moving back uptown when I saw them stay on the train past the “good” neighborhoods.
