Brooklyn Book. New York City, #9

These are my journal entries of 1995.  I was living in Brooklyn with my friend, John, and his roommate, Liz.  He had an art loft space on Duffield Street.  Years later, as I visited old haunts, I noticed it had been converted into very expensive, high-end condominiums.  But when I lived there for a brief period (about 2 years) back in the mid-1990's (when I was a "Grunge Girl") it was very much an artist space.
Brooklyn is my favorite borough, after Manhattan.  It's edgy and cool, working-class and no-nonsense; however, there might be more yuppies there now, converting real estate and increasing investment.  This piece is less about the borough of Brooklyn itself and more about my experience living there back at that time.
