Presenting Gentrification Bingo!
Filed under: Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, Greenpoint Magic, Long Island City, Williamsburg
First off I want to thank everyone out there for their generous submissions. I received some real doozies from a number of you. As promised earlier this week here is the first draft of Gentrification Bingo for your Friday afternoon entertainment. Enjoy!
I will be dedicating next week to generating three more cards so as create a set of four. In the meantime keep those submissions coming folks:

Happy playing!

Happy to see a few of my submissions on card #1. More for your consideration:
-“Fresh Direct,” “Amazon” or other online store box.
-Bottled water containers in recycling bags. (As opposed to “Krasdale” and “Goya” cans.)
-Used-book street vendor.
-Cheese shop.
-Liquor store with greater red wine selection than flask vodka selection.
-“Historic district” sign.
-Custom paved sidewalk (Bedford Ave. between N. 3rd – N. 12th, for example).
-“L” Magazine in a neighborhood not actually served by the “L” train.
-Gourmet pizza toppings (and/or $5 per slice).
-Organic anything.
-USA-born soccer fan.
-Subway stop with a rush hour at 4 AM.
This is fun. I’ll keep my thinking cap on!

Sorry for the double submission of near-identical lists. I’m not on crack (yet)–just thought I accidentally hit the “Reset Comments” button and then I tried to remember all that I wrote!
