Rocking out in BedStuy

Went to a housewarming in BedStuy, my old hood. Haven't been back in years and now I see there's lots of new construction going on. Overall, it looks like things are looking up...but a side of me is sad to see the old dilapidated buildings being torn down.


The apartment had a much coveted backyard with a much coveted (in my opinion) ruined storage shed. I was told that a family of raccoons lived here.


Shed door detail.


Inside shed with view of hole in roof. I'm facinated with the way nature overtakes man-made things. The way ivy will cover a wall (and eventually bring the building down) or a branch will grow right through the roof.


There was a birthday party going on in the next door neighbor's yard. Kids drinking soda and running around, a DJ playing loud random music to an empty dance floor. Rock on.
