I Heart Puerto Rico

Ok. First post. And what better to kick it off with than Puerto Rican Day? Every year in the city of New York there is a Puerto Rican Parade down 5th Ave. in Manhattan. And every year every Puerto Rican citizen of New York goes ape shit in the streets to celebrate. It's insane. Unfortunately I didn't snap any pictures of when the boys and girls at Hood Ink in Bed-Sty took over the streets and blocked Myrtle Ave. for over an hour. I didn't get any pics of when they started stopping all the buses, climbing all over crowded buses filled with people, waving flags, and tagging every surface in reach with "PR" in white shoe shine. I didn't get any pictures of when they did the same to the garbage trucks and ambulances and anyone else thinking the had a right to be going anywhere down Myrtle Ave. in the middle of their celebration. We are talking about 100 drunken hoods screaming and waving flags in the streets, music blaring, stopping traffic, and -my god!- doing graffiti, as the cops sat on the corner in a puddle of their own flaccid inertia. It's just nice to know that someone out there is getting away with it.


This guy!

Roof top parties!
