Matt Damon on Grand St. 11211


Matt Damon on Grand St. 11211, originally uploaded by fabian17.

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

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.

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.

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

I don't know why people like this one. It was about MTA strike and me crossing the bridge in the cold. Please explain.
