Did Ukraine Nazi Blink on Food Aid

Hey Harlem dudes, the Nazis are on the march, but they also be freaked too.The Ukraine Nazis may have blinked by letting humanitarian aide into Donetsk and Lugansk (I hope also Lugansk).  The Russian sanctions really threaten pain in Ukraine the insane, mainly on the plain. Hey baby, put that on a Harlem t-shirt now.

Polish sausage is getting chopped off pretty bad too by the Russian counter-sanctions.  I think that somebody blinked.

Time to impeach Obama.  Glass Steagall aCt of 1933 anyone.  A bankruptcy reorganization could be nice.

The Harlem T-shirt Lady needs help

Hey, buy some Harlem t-shirts, the t-shirt lady needs help. Don't wait for Chitra to bail out, buy some stuff. She's going to be in the Black Expo in May 2008, after that, who knows?

On a bigger note, the collapse of Bear Stearns and Jimmy Cayne follows the near collapse of Stanley O'Neal's Merrill Lynch, and the somewhat stock collapse of Lehman Brothers, now home to Felix "the Goniff" Rohatyn. System is going down, where is the Franklin Roosevelt 1933 policy when you need it. Obama may look and talk nice, but his financial speech last week was pure financial orthodoxy. No more bailouts, let's have a bankruptcy reorganization and a New Bretton Woods.

Afrocentric is In at the T-Shirt Queen

Nice is know that Afrocentric is back in at the t-shirt queen. She is selling the new items at the I Love Harlem store. The new shirt, for Black History month is here, the Malcolm X t-shirt. Note that you can get the Malcolm X shirt, the I Love Harlem Shirt and the Apollo Theater shirt, as well as other items in bulk (low prices for over 100 pieces) at the T-shirt Queen Store.

Another sad theme that shall make it to t-shirts soon, is the threatened imminent shut down of such landmarks as West 125th St, the Record Shack, see the link. Other possible themes for soon to come t-shirts are: The Cotton Club, Bobby's Happy House, and the Adam Clayton Powell statue by the Harlem State Office Building.

I Love Harlem Y'all

Stevie Wonder tune, My Cherie Amor



I love Harlem y'all.
We don't want to give it away,
Wear your Harlem hat;
From here until the Milky Way;

Adam Clayton Powell;
Showed us the true spirit;
Of the General welfare;
So, now let's here it,
I love Harlem Y'all,
Our Harlem is here to stay.

The T-shirt Queen is doing her best to rally the troops with her "I LOVE HARLEM" line of appaarel.

It's unbelievable, even the Record Shack on 125th St. is slated to close in March of 2008. This is after years of fights and riots, including a strange incident which left the perpetrator and 8 others dead in 1996. It's like the wall of money coming in is just so huge. It's up to the politicians to protect Harlem with zoning laws and the like.

Action at the Cotton Club, in Harlem NY

The Cotton Club has been since 1978 at West 125th St., by the West Side Highway. You can go there for a musical performance or just to buy some souvenirs. See their website at the Cotton Club.
Every Monday night is Swing Dancing night, where you get to do original swing dancing to a 13-piece jazz and swing ensemble, the house band, the Cotton Club Allstars. They play 3 50-minute sets, with 20-minutes breaks in between, and a music charge of $15.00 a head. The Cotton Club is also known for its Southern style cuisine.

And don't forget your I Love Harlem t-shirts, and other apparel.

Harlem Mall and Harlem Sprawl

Harlem Mall and Harlem sprawl are striking again. It is not necessarily a bad thing that lots of construction is going on in Harlem, but isn't it premised on making $150,000 a year or so. This is in a community where family income hovers around $35,000/year or less. Even if it was $80,000, you can't afford rents over $2,000 a month really, or maybe barely.

So let's just list "the new projects'. Across the river in the South Bronx, the Gateway Mall is slated for 2009, along the Harlem River and the Major Deegan, starting at East 149th St. You have the construction of the East Harlem Auto Mall at East 127th to East 128th st. There is the East Plaza Mall, to have Home Depot and Costco, at 116th St and the East Side Highway.

On the West side, you have Columbia University's projects. You have the land grab around the Apollo theatre area. It seems like this is going to be big box store heaven, but where do the indigenous residents live, if they can't hit the $150,000 a year income?

So, show your Love Harlem Forever and I Love Harlem pride, at the Tee Shirt Queen. Peace and love.
