		<description><![CDATA[Yup, this is my neighborhood.  Apparently &#8220;Mitzvah Tanks&#8221; are common (at least according to whomever wrote the Wikipedia entry), but this is the first one I&#8217;ve ever seen.  Seeing this R.V. drive down an extremely Caribbean stretch of Nostrand Ave gave me my fill of culture shock for the day.  Brooklyn rules!

		<description><![CDATA[During the last snow storm I looked out my kitchen window to see this:
Totally weird footprints.  At first I thought it was just the stray cat that hangs out in that area, but as I looked closer:
Definitely NOT animal footprints.  The ones closest to the access ladder look to have clear heel/toe indentations. But what&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Sometimes I wonder if we were not talking about hipsters, how well these comments would fly.
I feel it&#8217;s deceptively hard to come up with a good definition for &#8220;hipster,&#8221; but somewhere in that definition gentrification would have to be mentioned. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Jason and I moved into Crown Heights a year ago, it was always surprising to see another white person in the neighborhood.  There&#8217;s a strong Jewish (Hassidic? I&#8217;m kind of embarrassed not to know) presence in Crown Heights, but not in our neighborhood (we&#8217;re north of Eastern Parkway &#8211; they tend to be south [...]]]></description>
