I do love Brooklyn and my Carroll Gardens neighborhood, truly I do. But when I have family members or out-of-town visitors stay with me, I have a tendency of seeing what they see: dirt...and lots of it. Normally, I can ignore the trash, the filthy streets. When company is in town however, I become a bit more critical of my surroundings.
During the holidays, I hosted my family. I felt more than a bit ashamed that our streets looked as they did. Yes, Brooklyn is beautiful...but damn, its filthy.
Do you have the same conflicting feelings when company comes knocking?
