An innocent bar crawl opens up the eyes of the Rubber Ducky Gang. After seeing the changes that have been made in their neighborhood, Nicky Trendz wanted to start a conversation on Gentrification. Not that she doesn’t love having a new brewery open every month in Ridgewood, Queens. She just wonders about the possible displacement going on! The questions comes up of how these new businesses are helping the neighborhood they open shop in. Are they employing locals or transplants? Are they using local vendors for menu items or chain-establishments? How do the neighbors feel about non-native people who come just to drink and take up precious limited parking spots?!
Manny Oso chimes in here, too. With the popularity of the Todd Phillips’ Joker film, fans have been flocking to the stair streets of the Highbrodge neighborhood in The Bronx. The problem with this, is there have been no changes, clean ups or updates. No new stores or “Joker Breweries” to help the neighborhood keep tourists coming. Instead, a flood of influencers and selfie sticks! Locals have complained about the people who are just getting in the way of regular commuters and yet some have looked at it as hope for positive change in The Bronx.
We can only start this conversation, Duckies! You have to keep it going!
