Sumpter St, Bedford Stuyvesant

Sumpter street seems like it should be in Queens, because the houses are strange little set ups with driveways to park your car. And the cars are pretty nice too, which tells you that it can’t be too crimey. People won’t park their nice rides on streets where they’ll lose them. The headquarters of Urban Strategies is on Sumpter, which made me wary when I was apartment hunting. I didn’t want to live on a street with a halfway house… but I actually met someone who worked there and they were so nice it dispelled any misgivings that I’d had.
