Flip This House: Mixed Use Building on Malcolm X Boulevard & Macon Street

Posted on May 7, 2010 by The Progressive Southside

Posted on March 29, 2010 by The Progressive Southside

New Art on the Malcolm X Street Canvas

Posted on January 14, 2010 by The Progressive Southside

New black and white contrast art on the abandoned storefronts on Malcolm X Boulevard, between Macon & MacDonough Streets.  I don’t know when this was painted, but it wasn’t there a few weeks ago as I can recall.  Does anyone know more about what inspired this or the artist?

Saturday Is Farmer’s Market Day

Posted on July 11, 2009 by Alexa11221

Welcome to summer and delicious local ingredients!

I remember, when I first moved to Bed-Stuy back in 2005, the only place to buy decent produce on a regular basis was Super Foodtown. And while they do a fine job over there at Restoration Plaza, there is no way that a single supermarket, no matter how upscale, [...]
