Dear Brooklyn (newcomer),

Welcome to the borough filled with the joy of spreading love. I hope you’re enjoying it here and excited about the things that were built to attract you.

I also want to introduce you to something that is often left out. The ORGINAL.

The ORIGINAL Brooklyn is important to the residents that were born here, raised here, been here. The once child playing hide-n-go-seek in the street until the street lights came on. The once youngster having to go to the bodega for 2% milk to partner with her cereal because, almond milk was way too far out of reach. The once “little girl” who could step outside and see, tree lined blocks filled with beautiful brownstones, hair and nail salons, schools, banks, hospitals, an occasional fish market, instead of door-to-door coffee shops and condos.

Media has a way of extracting what made Brooklyn, Brooklyn. It’s not kale, large iced coffees and hipsters. It’s love, music, family, diversity and acceptance.

Evolution is needed and accepted but we ask that you not forget the ORIGINAL.
Constant outbursts close try content order cheap viagra dialogue with family, friends and others.

Because, quite frankly, as much as anyone would want to change the ORIGINAL, the ORIGINAL will always be there to remind you!

Spread love, embrace change, never forget. We ORIGINALS, welcome you with love.

Love

Ayanna
