2013 was an exciting year! Firstly, we survived the alleged Mayan Apocalypse with the inevitable end of the world attached to it in late December 2012. After that, everything else was a breeze!
2013 also meant the third year of publishing for Bushwick Daily. Whoa! We changed our look and redesigned the website; we added classifieds and the new events calendar, which you all loved. Yay! We added three new amazing editors and a bunch of awesome talented contributors from the amazing talent pool of Bushwick residents. And of course, we brought you hundreds of stories, pertaining to the life in our beloved pigeon town of Bushwick… So what were the most read stories of the year for 2013? Read on and find out!
#1 Newbie’s Guide to Bushwick Subway Stops by Daniel Ryan Adler
After the February piece by Daniel Adler, subway stations were added to the list of most beloved themes for passionate discussions in a bar or worse, online! (The other popular themes being politics, UFOs and football.) In his piece, Daniel discussed areas surrounding several Bushwick subways stops and what a newbie is likely to encounter there. The piece was welcomed by a gazillion people and was criticized by triple the amount! Is DeKalb the border of “safe” Bushwick? Is the Myrtle Wyckoff dangerous for women? Everybody had something to say, and I am personally happy about that! Because at least it wasn’t a post about rapes or gangs like last year.
