The amazing #Bushwick from a #mobile consumer’s point of view:

If you’re fortunate enough to be a Bushwick business owner or resident you know that people are moving into the neighborhood faster than you can say Knickerbocker.

Sure you might be worried about rent increases but this Bushwick Gold Rush is a great thing for you!

It means more business and more money — Only if you’re ready to take advantage of this golden opportunity.

How?
First you need to make sure people can find you.

If you’re relying on folks walking by your place and popping in, consider this…

I’m someone who moved from a place where there are no security gates hiding amazing places to eat, drink and play. If its closed when we pass, we still peek in and make a mental note to return. Unfortunately, that’s not the reality of Brooklyn.

When I first moved to Bushwick I had no idea there were so many fantastic restaurants, bars, etc. because they’re hidden (see pic) as I pass them during my morning and sometimes late afternoon walks. It wasn’t until I passed late in the evening or at night that I realized there were (what some have become my favorite) places to eat and drink.

But how many visitors and new residents walk the streets at night?

Yes some, but not many — At least not until their comfortable — So they’re ordering delivery or keeping their money in Manhattan.

Wouldn’t you like more of their business (aka $)?

from #Russia to #Bushwick w/love! Why #mobile readiness is SO important…

So we’re hosting a couch surfer from Russia. It’s his 1st time to NY and he of course wants to see, eat, drink and play while he’s here. He arrives and after searching his phone for places to eat, drink and play locally, he asks me if I’d mind quickly showing him around. If I could not, he was just going to head into Manhattan to find something to do.

** You see, it wasn’t really easy for him to find anything online. He found a couple of local websites, but 1) they’re not mobile-friendly. 2) he had to dig through the other stuff to find a directory of businesses. 3) once finding the businesses, he couldn’t really view their sites on his phone.

Now I love Bushwick and rarely leave the neighborhood so of course I’ll show him around but if I couldn’t, he would have taken his $ elsewhere and missed out on the greatness of Bushwick and its businesses.

Namibians wearing Vellies (Shoes)

“Velskoen, pronounced “fell-skoon” and known colloquially as “vellies,” are the ancestor of the modern-day desert boot. Vellies were first made in the 1600s, inspired by the footwear of the Khoikhoi tribe and crafted using raw materials. Later, our vellies were adapted by British travellers, packaged and renamed to be what we now know as desert boots.

(Brother Vellies) are made in the coastal town of Swakopmund, Namibia. There, a small group of eight Damara gentlemen assemble every shoe by hand, turning out just 20 pairs an afternoon.

…Vellies are made of vegetable-dyed Kudu leather. The Namibian government mandates the culling of these large native antelope to control their population. Kudu skin yields amazingly durable leather and suede that ages exceptionally well. Because these hides are taken from wild animals they often show scars or other “imperfections” that domesticated hides do not.”

How to Not Hate Dating

You have to figure out a way to be happy without a partner, without a date, without sex, without a response to that text or a “like” on a Facebook picture or a flirty exchange on GChat.
