I Heart Brooklyn
I had a major awakening while walking through my neighborhood last week. I love Brooklyn. I can't go so far as to say I love New York, because I don't give a shit about the other boroughs. Never been to Staten Island, The Bronx or Queens. I am less than impressed with Manhattan. There's something about Brooklyn that cannot be described until you live here. Today when I was searching for information, I stumbled upon The Brooklynites and in some way it gave me the reassurance that it was okay to love Brooklyn because millions of others do too. Brooklyn feels like a community. It has a rich history and an interesting diversity of people. Brooklyn has an attitude. Brooklyn feels like a small community within a large city. Every neighborhood in Brooklyn has its own personality and vibe. I know I will never live in another place like this.

ive decided that you are the jesse jackson of booklyn. congrats on that achievement.
As a Brooklynite myself (thanks for introducing me to that site, by the way), I can honestly say that I'll never live anywhere else like it either. Why would I want to? The BK has everything I need -- phenomenal food, amazing friends, bigger, better apartments & superior views of Manhattan (it looks better from our side of the river). The rest of the world can stay where they are. Just leave me my Brooklyn. Greenpoint, bitches.
