I'm a young interloper myself who's lived here for five years. I'm grateful for a place to live that I could afford, that feels manageably safe, and where 95% of the interactions I have with people on the street are positive. I'm a tiny part of a community where everyone else's got their own concerns, and I would just feel embarrassed to talk more to the nature of the neighborhood than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529184728607075662.post-31360283735290320512011-06-13T13:36:08.258-04:002011-06-13T13:36:08.258-04:00Thank you for posting this as a 6 year Trinidad re...Thank you for posting this as a 6 year Trinidad resident and a young professional American of African descent, that news story did not reflect me or my neighbors.

Perhaps NBC4 is too loose with their definition of "professional". Perhaps the writer is too sensitive to the issue and finding fault where there isn't any.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
