Embrace Bay Ridge Natives

 

 

I saw this on a new Bay Ridge site:

 

 

When I read that I thought two things: 

 

a) Everyone is a native from somewhere so everyone knows what pride and attachment someone has to their home base.

 

b) You are as much a part of something as you allow yourself to be. Some immigrants want to be part of things and they will put themselves out there. Some wait for an invitation to get involved. 

I am not from Bay Ridge, but I find people who were born here and I suck all the information I can from them (it’s the truth) .  LOL. I will engage with them questions anytime I can because I love hearing their inside knowledge. 

 

They help me find the best workers to get things done on my house efficiently and affordably.  The Natives are the ones who know  the area and can tell you which restaurants, bakeries and shops to visit to get the best, cheapest and freshest of anything. I have shared all they taught me in this blog. 

 

The article questioned if putting down roots involved home ownership. For some, it means that, for others it doesn’t. If someone wants a home and to take care of a home, then that’s what they will do. Other people enjoy renting.  I don’t know if the author is just frustrated with the crazy home prices in Bay Ridge or if they are a socialist and are against people purchasing homes.     

 

I don’t think there is anything wrong with questioning everything, but in a place like Bay Ridge, you know Bay Ridge has been great for many years because many  natives (not all)  made Bay Ridge great – so embrace them!
