Band, originally uploaded by plemeljr
Right now, a marching band is walking down Jay Street in DUMBO (Brooklyn) playing Beyonce Knowles Crazy in Love, right down to the Jay-Z break-beat in the third verse. They have been circling the block for the last thirty minutes, and are at least 20 strong.
I’m happy to say that DUMBO isn’t completely gentrified yet – it has only reached 1990’s Williamsburg level yet.
Anyone know what was going on?
