Compare and Contrast: the weaves

You know, it's difficult living in a new place where everything is so different. It's like I'm a foreigner in my own country.

But then I see something like this:

















A lone, castoff weave on the sidewalk in Baton Rouge. And it takes me right back to Fulton Street in Downtown Brooklyn, back to the spring of 2007, a more innocent time when a vibrant weave grew in Brooklyn.


















And I think: You know, there are some cosmetic differences between the BaRou weave and the Bklyn weave, but maybe...just maybe, deep down, we're not so different after all.
