With all the changes in Bushwick's real estate landscape there are a diminishing number of sealed up houses like this one. Houses like this were sealed up in the 1980's to prevent them from becoming drug dens and targets for fire. A few remnants remain around the neighborhood, but its only a matter of time before they become gut renos. This one is at Troutman and Bushwick. See any on your block?

author: Guy McLaren : Mpumalanga, South Africa

This kitty wanted to eat me, It got quite pissed off when I entered it's cage to take some pics. It is about 4 times the size of a big domestic cat and has been known to take down a 60lb gazelle.

I may post some pics of baby rhino and hippo some time sooner or later.Did you know ehen you stroke a...

You are convinced he must be trying to trick you...

Why Did Bushwick Burn?

author: upfromflames : Brooklyn, NY

I am an educator amateur historian who is working to answer this question for a Summer exhibition at the Brooklyn Historical Society. So the question is, why did the flames rise up the early 1970's to claim over 15% of the housing stock, spread fear and uncertainty, and lead to a 30% population reduction, from which it took a decade to recover? What do you think? Hint: There is not one answer
