Flatbush - Blog Posts
So the first time I saw this mural I was happy to see some art in my neighborhood (that wasn’t removed by the authorities) but two nights later I found out this had been put up by the #Flatbush and Nostrand Junction #BusinessImprovementDevelopment or #BID. I have had bad experiences with #BIDs across #NYC so my thoughts are biased but damn it sucks that nobody in the Junction community (that I asked) knew that this was unfolding in our neighborhood —many of us did notice some construction work and new lam posts, but no idea of the reasons behind it. So my question is how can the unknown key players actively involved in the decision-making process of the Flatbush/Nostrand Junction BID intend to improve and ‘beautify’ my community if they haven’t even asked me or non (or very few) of my fellow neighbors what that means for us?!! -_-’ I just hope I don’t see any of the long-time businesses or tenants pushed out of their locales&homes. #rantsaboutthechangesinmycommunity (at The Junction - Flatbush/Nostrand)
