“It’s funny because I remember growing up in Bushwick, six blocks from here. I was a nerd, and people would say, ‘Where you from?’ I had to drop it in a certain way: ‘Yo, I grew up in Bushwick.” People would be all, ‘Really?’ Now people say, ‘Ah, Bushwick, what does that mean? Hipsterville?'” – From The Edge Becomes the Center: An Oral History of Gentrification
