12:54 PM BushwickBK.com: hey man
me: yo
BushwickBK.com: I knew that piece would get some comment action
but shit
peopel are crazy
12:55 PM me: yeah, pretty controversial for a restaurant review
BushwickBK.com: I especially love those "I'm never coming back here again" comments I see now and again
as invariably they're back within days
me: yeah, I'm sure that's keeping you up at night
BushwickBK.com: haha
12:56 PM it's strange, as if this restaurant is our seat of government
how dare you criticize it so!
you're undermining our sense of community!
12:57 PM me: I like that, seat of government
BushwickBK.com: yeah, and you committed treason
meanwhile, these peopel are so insulated in their uninsulated lofts that they don't realize most of Bushwick hates life cafe
12:58 PM me: I like how there's also this really nuanced sense of regionalism whereby some people are denouncing the "Morgan trash" from, presumably, three blocks away
BushwickBK.com: haha
different subcultures
12:59 PM me: it is a legitimate observation I guess insomuch as that there's a general culture you can point to at Morgan and all, but damn
BushwickBK.com: yes
I think the average age is maybe 5 years younger around Morgan than, say, Jefferson etc
based on the type of residences available
1:00 PM more-adult peopel want a proper apartment
me: yeah, I would think so
BushwickBK.com: not a cavernous thing they share with 7 other unemployed college grads
1:01 PM me: I live over here next to Flushing and Broadway across from Lumenhouse, so I'm a bit set off from the Morgan area, but also I have no idea where the other little enclaves are
1:02 PM BushwickBK.com: yeah you're in an almost cut-off part over there
cuz of the way the grid skews
1:03 PM or maybe I made that up
shrug
me: no, it's true
