It’s So Hard to Say Good Bye … to Bed Stuy Blog
Bed Stuy Blog, the imprint in the cloud that made the neighborhood I was born and raised in a popular destination, is signing off.
Since March 2007, The Changeling embarked on telling a neighborhood’s story through words and pictures, with a little help from the blogosphere.
Prior to its launch, the only thing reported consistently by print and broadcast media outlets were negative depictions of Bedford Stuyvesant and her residents.
Instead of offering the same fare heard and said in the news, she decided to invite you on her journey in search of … Bed Stuy, where she discovered places to eat, things to do and people to see.
What she and others accomplished in each post would change the perception readers had of an entire neighborhood.
And the neighborhood is better for it.
