NYPD Terrorism Continues; Ditmas Park Blog covers white barbershops

The title should be self-explanatory and I told myself that I would leave the calling out of Ditmas Park Blog proprietors to Eloise but I go to a salon like Eloise and other Flatbush old-timers that is run by a wonderful Dominican lady. This salon is also on Cortelyou. Why not the profile of the Dominican salon where women of many generations gather to exchange neighborhood gossip, share family happenings, recipes, and lots of great laughs? If Ditmas Park Blog is supposed to be about the neighborhood why not profile those that are making a positive difference in the neighborhood and not a select few? It appears that Ditmas Park Blog uses its platform to promote the things that they like while not helping out businesses that could always use a bit of free advertising. There also seems to be a trend in what businesses get covered and which do not. I love this area and have no intentions on leaving unless I am in a casket. I love the architecture and the history of the neighborhood as well as my neighbors. I loved the diversity which now seems to be a thing of the past. It is a shame and I hope that the owners realize that what they are doing is creating a forum to promote a whitewashed version of the area.

  2. Seems things are getting tough for some criminals.

    Yesterday, Natavia Lowery, a black murderess, was convicted of bludgeoning Linda Stein to death. She will serve 25 to life for the killing.

    Cindy Jasmin, a black female, has been identified as the driver of the Acura that hit Erinn Phelan in Prospect Heights a few nights ago. It appears Phelan is brain dead.

    Jasmin drove away from the scene of the accident and abandoned her car on Atlantic Avenue where she jumped on the subway.

    Biurny Gonzalez was convicted of perjury. She previously claimed she had been raped by a man who was convicted and has been in prison for the last four years as a result of her phony claim. She is now on her way to jail, and the innocent victim of her lies has been freed.
