"The shooting was a reminder of rougher times in Clinton Hill, where gentrification has turned crack houses into wine bars." Those damn white people, keepin' da brothas from keepin' it real, always gotta be cleanin' up da hood and shit.

clearly he was targeted. this has nothing to do with clinton hill/ft. greene other than the fact that that's where he was found and shot. this could have happened anywhere he frequented.

On the contrary Snoopy, the fact that the Pratt Brooklyn campus is still there is a testament to the schools committment to remaining a part of the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill community. Also, that gym is f'ing amazing and gets good use from the the schools "creative types".

Pratt should have moved their main campus to Manhattan back when they had a chance in the late sixties. Instead they built that stupid gym to bring the community closer together. Most creative types are not into sports, so the gym was a joke and a waste of good money that could have expanded studio and classroom space.

I was visiting a friend who goes to Pratt, and we were walking to the architecture building, which is on Lafayette and St. James around 4:50 PM because he had a 5 o'clock class. Two cops were standing around and suddenly they started running towards us, so we got out of the way and wondered what was going on. Then a cruiser suddenly got on the sidewalk, again, towards us, we practically had to jump out of the way or we would have been run over. Cops were running all over, and police cruisers were speeding down St. James against the traffic, and nobody had a clue what was going on. It's kind of scary to find out we were only a couple of blocks away from the murder. Even when I went into the subway station to wait for the G I could hear the sirens going crazy.

I always knew Clinton Hill was up and coming. I should have bought there back in the sixties.
