Great video. Used to live in that hood so I love a little more context. Spike's door is very cool tucked away and nondescript, an artist's haunt. Looking forward to the book. Thanks for sharing the excerpts and videos.

Thank you..I've only been in the neighborhood a year, so it's an education for me.

Thanks Mr George. I lived in Ft Greene from '87 - '02. Best times of my life! Are you sure Erykah lived above Moshood? My understanding is that she lived above 7 corners hardware per the landlord there.

For a brief moment, there was a comic strip based on a black super hero who lived in the clock tower of the Williamsburg Bank--anybody remember that?
