Overheard on a Bed-Stuy Stoop: Married Lady Confronts Her Cross-Borough Side Piece
As relayed by local journalist Terrell J. Starr.
BED-STUY, BROOKLYN — Bed-Stuy's stoops are like open-air bedrooms: small, deceivingly intimate amphitheaters projecting all our secrets and curses and impromptu pillow talk to the neighbors upstairs. Tuesday night, Bed-Stuy resident and Fusion reporter Terrell J. Starr caught an earful on a topic we all know a little something about: the cross-borough side piece. Here's what he overheard.
Y'all. A drama is unfolding outside my window. A married woman is arguing with a man she claims is shamed he was born in the Bronx.

FYI: I'm in Bed-Stuy. The Bronx on the train/bus is at least one hour away. At this time of night (no express train), add 30 min to that.

So, from what I could tell, the married Bronx woman is pissed she had to get off the bus in BK to be with this bum-ass Brooklyn nigga.

"I'm so tiiiiiired," says the married Bronx woman. "I'm tired, too," says the 'bum-ass Brooklyn nigga.

As the married Bronx woman and the "bum-ass" Brooklyn nigga argue, neither seems to notice (or care) everyone can hear them.

I don't know the details of this story, but fucking across borough lines is a typical way for NYers to keep their side pieces apart.

So, the Bronx woman's anger was fully justified IF, in fact, she had to leave her husband in the BX to mess around with a wack BK nigga.

If a woman comes from the Bronx to be with a BK dude, at night, when the express trains end at 12 p.m., that nigga special.

Anyway, the married Bronx woman and "bum-ass" Brooklyn nigga are gone. That was my ( and your) window stoop entertainment for the night.

I'm gonna start live-tweeting the shit I hear outside my window. It's the content great novels are made of!
