Bushwick resident of Iranian descent, musician Elaheh Farmand, has been living in Bushwick for a little over a year now and has been seeing a lot of things that bothered her

Bushwick of the previous decade has rapidly transformed from New York’s “forgotten” neighborhood into a synonym of hipness and trendiness
