Ironically she was boldly flaunting her wares in the window of the local Salvation Army store.

Like other secretive organizations, the Mungiki sect is an organization that outsiders can know little about and thus understand it motives, structure and vision. However, one can draw insights into the organization by looking at what it stands for and represents amongst it members hence understand the source of its strength. At least what we publicly know of the organization is that it has its roots in Kikuyu custom and traditions and at the same time it is a religion.

I was walking along St Antoine yesterday and the god-awful grinding noise I heard turned out to be this tractor-trailer firmly wedged under a bridge. Based on the damage, he must have tried going backwards and forwards to get unstuck. I managed to slink behind the girders and get in a few good shots, irate truck-driver notwithstanding.

Wondering why the males in my office had their faces plastered to the window, I discovered a small PETA demonstration in front of the Hilton Bonaventure. While I am against the senseless killing of animals for fashion (amongst other reasons), I have historically found the PETA demonstrations too disturbing to appreciate their message. However this one was cute, and many people actually stopped and chatted with some of the protesters rather than scuttling away with averted faces.

Bushwick has a sleepier southern side. Come walk its fringes. The historic houses lining these leafy streets date from a late 19th century real estate boom. We'll be taking in Bushwick’s more distant past, including the Irving Square Park area, as well as Trinity Cemetery, where almost every gravestone is cast from metal. This eye-opening stroll combines topography, economics, and history. A major focus is to discuss the need for historic preservation in this rapidly changing community. Saturday, May 17, 1 pm - 3 pm Rust and Remebrance: Bushwick's Southern End with Adam Schwartz *Meet at the NE corner of Chauncey Street and Broadway,...
