If you want to go shopping in Brooklyn and see everyone you have ever met, go to Fulton Street. Fulton Mall has plenty of great shopping places, with stores you have seen before and stores that you haven't. Food is everywhere, but crime is lurking everywhere as well. I used to go to the burger king there everyday when I was younger, but the last time I went there it was dirty. Lots of fun surprises, eh?

So..what do you want to buy today? Go to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. You will find every store you wanted. Every store you didn't think of or know about. And every store that needs to be there. So much food and shopping to do. Atlantic avenue mall has Target now. I was so glad to see that. Brooklyn needed a good Target.

What is Court Street becoming? A small times square? I revisited Court Street last year. It has completely changed! It is a haven for hipsters I guess. With the new barnes and noble and american apparel, this place is going somewhere. And I think I like it. I'm not a hipster, but I'm glad to see this street catering toward a younger crowd now.

Do you want some food? A nice area to sit outside and eat? A few stores to peruse through? Go to Montague Street. Its a cute place around Brooklyn Heights to take a chill day. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. However, if you're afraid of dogs like I am, be careful! There are a lot of dog walkers around here.

Well I'm going to be brutally honest here. Do you want the good news or bad news first? Okay let's give the good news first. Rent has been good within the last oh 30 years. My mom lived on that street before she moved out of her parents apartment at 20 years old. She will be 50 next year and her mother and sister still live there, paying very little money for such a great apartment. The bad news? I lived with my grandmother for about a month one summer, and at the beginning, I was terrified of the roaches. By the end of the month, I was picking roaches up like they were my friends. I never got used to the mice. Oh and I remember visiting Grandma one day and there was blood and glass on the first floor of her building. Yep, someone got shot there. Oh and there is a bullet hole in my Grandma's window. Yep someone shot randomly up to her floor. So do yourself a favor, and get far away from Lenox Road. I mean Kings County Hospital is nearby, but you may not make it.

I loved living on Bergen Street. A short distance from some great local places. I lived here for two years as I was going to school. There are some cute shops around here and the people around are nice. Everything you can need is on or around this street. However, some places are old and could need a bit more sprucing up. I visited last year and a lot was the same as 8 years ago!

This street is right near the heart of Brooklyn. Its where I grew up, so its close to my heart as well. Right along to the Brooklyn Bridge, this street is a prime area for anyone with the right bank account. The apartment complex Concord Village is on this street, where anyone can and should live. Friendly people, friendly neighborhood. This is located near downtown Brooklyn, so you will be near the shops, but far away enough from the violence and people on Fulton. You are also a short distance from the promenade. Also, if you want exercise or to go into Manhattan, you are only a bridge walk away. I lived there for 10 years.
