And honestly man I really don't think Bushwick is gentrifying... Gentrifying means higher income folk replacing lower income folk... That really isn't happening in Bushwick... It's for sure happening in Bed-stuy and certain sections of Crown Heights but to me, the reality of Bushwick is that it's hipsterfying and mainly only along one border... Unless they concentrate their efforts on that section without rents reaching astronomical heights...the changes for the foreseeable future will continue to be minimal...
Not only income, could be revenue as well. I don't live in Bushwick, but I definitely spend more money there today than I ever have.
Same here. My parents are from PR, I was born in NYC, but I am Southern European looking as reflected from my Spanish background. I have never felt discriminated against in any nightlife venue in this city and I hang out everywhere from the high end places on the West Side to Bedford Ave to Harlem.
The ghetto people are the most non-accepting, close minded of them all. Bring on the hipsters. The girls are cuter too. They're not overweight and actually take care of themself...
LMAO! have you seen how american women/girls dress in nyc? i was out with my girlfriend one day who often wears a dress (she is from europe where being feminine is not something politically incorrect where feminists will hunt you down) when we go outside and she said she would see so many people looking at her weird. i told her, yeah, you aren't wearing a grey-colored masculine hoodie or other manly gear. you actually look like a female should.
look around. look at the nasty male-looking girls/women of nyc because of how they dress. no makeup, no jewelry, nothing feminine about them. just got out of bed and threw on some masculine clothes. disgusting.
What about the area around Wyckoff Heights Medical Center? Is that considered Bushwick or Ridgewood? It is a nice area.
Bushwick. Some old timers from the neighborhood who have now left for the suburbs might call it Ridgewood. I've met people who lived around their decades ago say they were from Ridgewood, Brooklyn. Today there is no such thing.

Number one, how should a female look? Its an individual person's choice as to how the dress? Make up, jewelry and all cost money and take time to put on and deal with. Also, clothes and make up do not make someone female or feminine (plenty of drag queens wear make up, wigs, dresses, and heels). What makes you feminine is truly biological.

Ridgewood/Glendale/Bushwick all used to share the same zipcode back in the day and even sections of Forest ave would say Brooklyn NY... This changed in the 70s after the riots... 11227 changed to 11237 in Bushwick and 11385 became Ridgewood/Glendale...

Did 11227 serve all of modern day 11237 and 11385 prior to Ridgewood/Glendale breaking away? From Morgan and Wilson aves all the way to Woodhaven Blvd?
If the area of Wyckoff Heights Medical is Bushwick, then there is a possibility of gentrification. The streets are already very clean, and is not so "hood" despite the demographics.
