"What Belmont !"

The Belmont I once knew when I live in Brownsville was once a busting shopping area.I remember the Jewish people with there store and food venders selling fruit and vegetables on the street.You could hardly walk through those Belmont streets because of so many shoppers.Now Belmont is a shell of it's former self.It's a ghost town with so many stores that close up.
Pros
  • cheap housing for low income
  • Great if you like the hood
Cons
  • drugs
  • the Ghetto

"A small town where its best to moving on up to a new town Brooklyn"

I lived in Brownsville Brooklyn grown-up there it really is a ruff area to make it .I lived there with my brother ,me ,my mama and my father .most of my family stayed in Brooklyn so home it what we called it .We lived here because the rent was cheap low income most of the people that live there are in low income .the streets are full with a lot of projects buildings .you have a lot of little shops that line the street in Brownsville Brooklyn New York .but it is a watch your back type of area .the night life is best to stay out of ,lots of gangs drugs being bought and sold on the streets .at the night life you see cops wondering about stopping people an putting there name in the system's .running checks on all who look up to no good ,you could be standing there or wearing a gang related color best believe your gonna get stopped my the cops and questions .most of the project buildings no longer have the locks on the fronts of the doors because people have broken them off to get in ,in you are caught going in to a project apartment building at night and a cop stops you asking what you doing there you most likely will get a fine .my dad whom is dead to drug selling.got a 500 dollar fine for walking in a project building he did not live in all because he did not buzz in .the night life is not safe though [DO NOT WALK THE STREETS AT NIGHT } on the good note I recommend this place for people just starting to make it in New York .But i do not state for people to live here unless you have to .
