Lately Williamsburg, Brooklyn, 11211, is becoming quite an usual destination for mainstream movie making. It can be nice, but sometimes it gets a little annoying: closed streets, noise, people attracted to the celeb-factor, and otherwise beautiful bars and coffee shops turn into a catering station for the film industry. What do you think? Good or Bad?
There is an article about Matt Damon in Now Public

Roundest, proudest, fiercest, AC-DC shirt wearing womb you’d face at a placid yet hipsteric Williamsburg night while friends and strangers, evaporate red wine slower than the uncertainty that a new life for better or worse will bear witness to this world.

Kindest yet happily grayest Williamsburg quiet afternoon to wonder around hand in hand temporarily defeating cynicism while experiencing the exciting perspective of a new, shiny, still unspoiled, beginning. But now modeling a bit.

Most interesting combination of a smart French Canadian architect and a home based art gallery just a fly of stairs away from your home on a random weeknight while nobody cared, but we did because those red illuminated thingies are at least amusing.

Most interesting Biohazard Lead Bassist, Oz Actor, nice Jewish guy, with a penchant for ink and skin and overall awesomeness you could ever wish to have as your down the hall neighbor in Williamsburg, circa 2003.

Best way to territorialize via hipsteric gentrification. Pink boots, once more, repeated, regurgitated, and revisited
Hanging sneakers form a pole or wire it is said to mean dealer in the area, I guess is some type of anthropological territory demarcation among groups or gangs.
Technically speaking this 'sneakers' are not such, if you look closer they are more "stylish boots'. My interpretation of this change or displacement is due to the fact that Williamsburg is a former industrial district which is in the process of a rapid gentrification. Some urban tribe defined as 'hipsters' took over this 'hood. Hence instead of the usual sneakers they hang fashion boots. I feel this is an interesting twist to this tradition.

Best Person in Williamsburg to bump into if you must discuss German vs. Continental vs. American Philosophy, the Ethics of Dietetics, and the Pros and Cons of Berlin, Buenos Aires, and New York, not necessarily in that Order.

Yes. The Green logo has landed in Palermo. Like selling sand to Saudis, snow to Inuits, and pasta to Italians, here it comes coffee culture to PorteƱos.

White & Blue Argentina State
For the First Time on July 8th 2005, the Empire State Building lit up with the colors of the Argentinean flag, celebrating the July 9th Argentinean Independence Day. This is how it looked to me from a Williamsburg Rooftop
