Hometown New York City Brooklyn
For people living in small to mid-size hometowns it is easy to write about their towns. However, for someone like me who was born and raised in New York City it is rather difficult. Therefore I will look upon the borough of Brooklyn as my small town away from the teeming streets of Manhattan and the other boroughs. If you know about Brooklyn and find a neighborhood missing it is just that I wrote about all the ones I knew and where I have been. I was born in a very quiet corner of Brooklyn called Bay Ridge so I began my tour there. This article is about the neighborhoods Brooklyn Chinatown, Bushwick, Crown Heights, and Ditmas Park As I continue I will paste the links for the neighborhoods I have written about below.

The Wandering Dragon Medieval Market
If my clan is going to drag me from my hovel beneath my rock kicking and screaming - they better be taking me to where there is food or faeries. Or faeries that feed me. The last week of October provided such an outing at the Expo Center in Knoxville, Tennessee.
