Welcome to Cooper Houses Projects in Brooklyn

[@vonettabramwell]

I was born and raised in Cooper 340. One thing about Cooper they respect there elders. If they saw my grandma walking with her shopping cart they would say Ms.Homely let me push your cart to the your building. When she passed away 5 years ago most of Cooper showed up to her services.

I grew up in Cooper Park Housing Projects. I lived at 330 Frost St. I am white but most of the tenants were Black and PR. I was friends with everyone. Yes, there were project gangs and in those days there were knifings--my Dad was knifed coming home from buying a pizza one Sat. night. He recovered in Greenpoint Hospital....spent a month in there. He never blamed the attackers---said the guys were just high on drugs. I have not visited the projects since I moved away. I am so happy to see how the projects have become a place of positivity....not a dangerous place to be feared. Whatever and whomever it was that turned Cooper Park into such a decent place--keep it up. Sending love to you all.

But it's a lie though. They are only like that because they are poor. Once they get real money they leave. Most of these people are garbage people who don't want good things and perpetuate bad. It's all an act. They only act like that because they need to use the next man.

I grew up in a few neighborhoods, but Cooper is home. Delighted to see that you made to Bk, Cooper, Hoodvlogs. Thank you! I know I wrote forever ago. Silly of me to think I was the only one watching. I'm so happy to see so many familiar faces. And like all neighborhoods there're moments of ups and downs. But for me I know there're many focused on forward movement and elevation collectively. Peace and love to all featured and everyone watching.

You gotta respect @hoodvlogs for telling the whole story when it comes to the hood no matter where he is. I think its amazing to show an entire hood vlog video and not a single person reference a gun or violence. Because like we all know bad things can happen sometimes, but it doesnt have to be the only subject lol I just appreciate how these guys feel the need to uplift each other versus harm and negativity

I grew up in Williamsburg Houses, Cooper was the closest PJs to WB, there was always little beefs between the 2 PJs, at least during the late 80s early 90s. I remember brothers from both PJs tried to put an end to it, and creat unity, that helped some, that was righteous. I worked for NYCHA in Cooper for about 9 months before moving to another development. I got cool with some dudes there n who knew I was from WB but it was always love. While I work there they were filming the movie New Jersey drive there, I saw Heavy D there. Cooper PJs is a unique PJs in BK, Brooklyn… much respect always btw brooklyn graffiti legend Dmane, NOK (Nation of Kings crew) was from Cooper, his tags were everywhere, respect to Joell Ortiz also who always Repped his PJs in his music

New Jersey Drive was filmed there, but some scenes were filmed in NJ. The scene where he steals the car from the Supermarket parking lot was on Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, Queens.
