Today I visited my old 'hood, LIC with a friend of mine. It's still a bit on the desolate side, however new lofts are going up. Ten years ago when I lived on 44th Drive, it was up and coming and called the "next hot neighborhood." The buzz is getting a little louder, but time will only tell if this riverfront area will truly live up to the hype.

Sure, there are more restaurants and bars, but the only supermarket is still that crappy C Town at the Ely stop. Living in an area that needs to be (re)built from scratch isn't stopping hipsters who declare Williamsburg as "over" from coming here, so maybe LIC will (finally) be the next big thing.
