Yo, Bushwick. We couldn’t otherwise but to join the massive end-of-the-year-all-internet-round-up of the most popular articles. Digging deep into our analytics, we found out what you guys read the most in the glorious year of 2014.
But beware, Bushwick, this isn’t the top 10 of Bushwick Daily’s most sophisticated articles; this is the Bushwick version of cat memes. So we have topless Miley, Bushwick-loving celebrities, SantaCon and our fake news about Madonna buying Cheap Storage building on Wyckoff Ave. At the same time I am personally glad that my story about catcalling resonated with so many of you; or that you dug our post about living at Colony 1209.

#8 Catcalling is NOT Flattering: Why I Stopped Running in Bushwick
