One thing about being away from NYC, it makes you miss the ease of walking everywhere. Being in Detroit and Chicago, having a car is basically a necessity. Upon our return, I grabbed the camera and rushed out the door. It's nice being steps away from beautiful landscapes, such as the Bk Botanical Garden.
Flying Back to Brooklyn
It's always nice to visit family in other places. You get to see not only family, but how other cities are. For me, it reminds me how special the borough of Brooklyn really is. Face it, not too many other places is the diversity right next door. Like all things, our trip came to an end. And every time, it is an adventure and a half to get into the greater NYC area. These are not my photos but they give the general idea of the chaos we are about to endure.

Brooklyn Blanketed By Blizard
When I left for my holiday travels, I kind of wanted a little more time to relax. I told myself that I should have taken a bit more time. Well, life has a way of giving you what you want sometimes. My flight from Chicago to JFK was canceled. While I was on the internet trying to figure out how I'm going to get home to Brooklyn, I saw many pictures of the storm's effects. Even the subways got covered by the blizzard.
Since I was not around to take some pics of my own to share, my good friend Dean let me share some of his snap shots.
Be careful if you must go out in this weather. Stay warm and check in on your elders when you get the chance. But make sure you take a little time to enjoy the snow. I know I will when I return!

Brooklyn Face Lift in Fulton Street Mall
Ok, ok, I know. I've been MIA for quite some time. It's not that your boy just walked away. I've had some many ventures since the last posting happened. I've started working again. I've gotten involved in a relationship. And to take away more time, I started a business.
I know, these all sound like excuses. I do want to continue to show my appreciation for this beautiful borough but I want to do it right. I've learned a lot since starting this and I want to incorporate it into my upcoming videos. But to show you that I am not abandoning this blog I started, I'm going to do a replay of one of my favorite videos.
I shared this one because all bus services are fully restored in the open air market place. I haven't had the chance to go and document the full extent of the new look. I will very soon. Who knows, maybe I'll see you down there when I do.

Backyard Barbeque in Brooklyn causes move
Well, my faithful followers, this is it. I have had it up to here and I am done. Not with blogging. With this provider, Blogger. It served me well until the last couple of months. They made some changes that baffled me. Seriously, why fix something that is not broke.
I was attempting to share some pictures of the bbq with you and it was just infuriating. Trying to design a decent looking layout for the post brought back the headache I got rid of this morning. After a few tries at figuring out the method to their new madness, I gave up. I knew that it was time to move to the next spot.
A few folks have been trying to get me over to WordPress for a while now. I tested out a page a few months ago but didn't see any reason to make the switch. Then, some genius at this site decided to make some changes. If you type in whyilovebk.com, you will still be forwarded to my site, always.
So check out the new site and update you link button (if you added me to your bookmarks) and check back later today for those pics.

Classic Coney Island Fun
I've been mentioning here and there that I wanted to do a Coney Island video. The wait is over folks. I finally made it down to the penisula with the camera. My old favorites were still there along with some new friends. This is just a taste but enjoy...
Don't forget the Mermaid Parade this Saturday. It's always a blast!

It doesn't get any better than a rooftop party in Brooklyn
This past weekend was an event filled one. I finally made it out to Coney Island to check out the new Luna Park. Believe me, it did not disappoint. I did shoot a video to share with you all, but I am still working on getting my editing station working properly. (Time for a trip to Deano Bravo Studios)
That same evening, I went to a friends party on her rooftop. It was the perfect mix of good friends, great music and delicious beverages. To give you a taste of the party, I've decided to share some pictures that my buddy took. (Chuck Gibson has an incredible eye for composition)
