MTV goes Brooklyn

Apparently the next Real World will be filmed in downtown Brooklyn, about 6 blocks from our place. Though it’s an interesting six blocks. It’s very close to Danielle’s school and it’s very close to lots of good stuff, but it’s still an odd neighborhood. Neighborhoods in New York can change in a block.

There’s a trend near our neighborhood where huge luxury condos are going up in areas that aren’t really residential. The building the Real World will be using falls into this category. I liked the comment in this New York Times article:

They could get mugged out here.

But it’s not like they’re slumming. They’re going to live in a $6 million place. Welcome to downtown Brooklyn…
