Tweets of the week: It was all a dream
This week: Remembering Biggie, mocking Syracuse, long distance dating in Flatbush, a bird's eye view of Canarsie and more
Every week we at Brooklyn Magazine read the entire internet in order to curate (some of) our favorite tweets from the previous seven days. These are locally sourced, hand-crafted, organically grown, free range nuggets of wisdom and jest for the week ending March 11.
25 years ago today we lost one of the greatest storytellers in #HIPHOP! #ChristopherWallace The Notorious BIG aka #BiggieSmalls from Bedstuy Brooklyn all to way to a Worldwide ICON 🐐
BIG changed Hip Hop Forever, embodied what it was to be from Brooklyn & inspired so many of us pic.twitter.com/zriP8YRZBA

Got a great shot of Canarsie Pier on my way out JFK this morning. On axis via Rockaway Parkway is Lincoln Terrace / Arthur S. Somers Park at the border of Crown Heights-East Flatbush-Brownsville. pic.twitter.com/zw7EcAcOeX

I realized I was missing an airpod on the way home so I started retracing my steps looking for it and let me tell you there are more single cloves of garlic laying around the streets of Brooklyn than you might think

overwhelming experience of canvassing in bushwick & cypress hills is that people deeply feel organized abandonment, even if they don’t have a word for it

Lord give me the confidence of a coffee-in-hand, Park Slope man boldly walking through the intersection of my green light with nary a glance.

RIP, Charles Entenmann: along with his brothers and mother, he expanded the Brooklyn bakery his father started in 1898 into a national brand. (And yet, according to his son, “he didn’t eat @Entenmanns cake. … He just wasn’t a dessert guy.”) https://t.co/ROzk1sRaFk
