From Bmore to Brooklyn to Brick City…I’m back

Someone somewhere has been trying to tell me something. For the last 6 months, I have gotten more than a dozen “what happened to Cribnotes?” inquiries.  Let’s just say life has been a whirlwind tour.

I no longer live in Baltimore, aka Broke Man’s Brooklyn as my buddy Mya so eloquently summed it up. I have traded simple city living in for the real, expensive version, giving up the rowdy summer madness on the front stoop of my ubiqitous Baltimore rowhouse for a three floor walk-up over a sometimes raucous hipster bar. Which means I also had to divorce the company I loved to move in with the dude I love, because long distance,  no matter what anyone says, sucks (for lack of a better way to express how hard it was).

Love for a Jersey boy is how I ended up working in Brick City–Newark, NJ.  And that, my friends is where I will leave you…for now.
