Anonymous - 36: Great !! If someone ever asks me the what was the best time of my life - without a doubt it was 13-16, great memories to last a lifetime. My 9 year old daughter can't get enough of the tales I tell her about when "I was a Las" Adventures...

EvilGentleman: Good old Decatur, the Soy Capital. Been over 15 years since I was last there, visiting my fiancee who was studying at Milliken U. Wonder what's in the pipes?

EvilGentleman: I would agree with the majority of what has been said, but I will state my opinions on each issue, so it becomes obvious where I stand. I think the best way to have notification on a user's past posts (without resorting to a mandatory account system, which I think would detract...

jackie: brooklyn bridge is the biggest bridge ever!and it's very cool beans!

in response to The Brooklyn Bridge

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: I agree with most previous comments. The hot topics doesn't function as I expect you'd hoped. It just highlights the searches for gangs and sex. I think that the overall grey is perfect. Color will detract from the photos. Shade of grey set the mechanics of the site slightly in the...

BDweller: "The Bushwick Initiative...Who is this for?" Boy, you are some busybody, upfromflames. Digging, poking, photographing and posting; then posing provocative questions. I'll take your bait. The city's official response to the steady influx of Latinos and blacks into neighborhoods like Bushwick in the '70s and '80s was "Planned Shrinkage". Now that...

in response to The Bushwick Initiative: Holistic Redevelopment or Urban Renewal Retrofit?

joey: i saw it in a movie. dirty pretty things. with inside shots as well.

in response to The Gherkin

joey: now that's a building. un-like the blue phallus building in the background. solid, massive, and made of bricks.

ArtsyNani: I'm familiar with the schools ... I guess I need to just start my research as to available positions ... thanks

Peter: i plan on doing some major editing to the city list... making stuff consistent. i go through it every now and then, but have let it slide recently... good point. ill jump on that when im bored at work tomorrow... also, ill be sure to follow up on changing names on...

sirhcbre: I agree with a lot of what has already been said. Here are my two cents: -Profiles would be nice but shouldn't be mandatory. If someone wants one, they should be able to create one and if someone doesn't want one, they should be able to post as they...

upfromflames: sure did. I always credit others. Bushwick needs teachers, but most of all it needs teachers that came from here. They understand most what kids need here. There is always a place open for a person like yourself. There are numerous schools based on the concept and practice of social justice....

in response to Blinding Success: Urban Signage

ArtsyNani: Did you take these pictures yourself? I grew just a few blocks away from the chicken place. I've been browsing through various blogs about Bushwick and noticed that you teach there. Do you have any advice as to how to get started working in the schools? ...

in response to Blinding Success: Urban Signage

ArtsyNani: That first photo makes me miss the neighborhood so much. I coached youth baseball teams in the adjacent baseball field since I was 15. I'm currently studying in MA and can't wait to get back. Unfortunately, like my parents who can't afford to live there anymore, I'll...

in response to Once Was a Wasteland

KITO: Also: I do not know if it would be practical, but a comment/feedback notification system would be nice. Like, a way you could see who had commented on old posts without having to click through each old post to check up on it....?

in response to User Survey 2007

KITO: Hi, I'm a long time lurker, who I'm sure none of you know. I think this is my first comment. Hello, CityNoise. I, too would like to see more photos on the front-page. No offense, but it looks really boring, and isn't a good representation of the bountiful content here, as...

groovehouse: I would like to see more photos on the home page. I think the page is set up to show three photos, a few more would be nice. I would also like to see the Browse By City category display 6-8 cities instead of 5. Posting: I don't think it's very...
