Brooklyn, USA3 | This Can't Be The End of This (I'm Having Too Much Fun)How did you spend your summer vacation? We spent ours in a park in Crown Heights.

But reducing a neighborhood to it's own displacement erases the people who've been there all along, who've built it up, and who often still call it home. We celebrated the end of summer by walking around Crown Heights and talking to people. We met two female entrepreneurs, with very different business models. We follow...
