Sunday.......

So where are we now? Well, tired....spent Saturday afternoon with Jeanine at South Fourth....I wonder how long this will go on.....then an incredible walk through Jewish Williamsburg, sometimes I think that is all I should do...anyway, South from South Fourth, then via Lee Avenue, the heart of Jewish Williamsburg----really interesting, did you know that Lee becomes Nostrand, find myself after about ten blocks, as we approach Flushing Ave, deep in the heart of Bed-Stuy---saw a storefront, guys hanging out, made an abrupt right, followed Flushing (pretty desolate, even at 6:00 P.M.) over to Bedford, which is still Jewish, right up through Myrtle Ave. Bus to Tillie's, then after some unnecessary coffee, walked to BAM, streets of Fort Greene truly beautiful last evening around twilight, wished, for a moment that I lived there, still, remember that I am white...would I simply be one of the gentrifiers, my sense of fairness is strong, I pride myself on being a fair person, how much outrage should one feel at the plight of the people being forced out---what can one do? Is the city a sewer where the rich are overwhelming all of us, or just a place that is changing, that one can have a lot of fun in? Or something in between
Too many choices re what to do today, also I am tired, the walk and the two days work seem to have exhausted me, atleast physically...perhaps will go back to apartment and rest...or maybe...
