Seven Sisters

Dude I am a proud second generation immigrant Russian & Caribean my other half recently moved from seven sisters her familys still in that area for since the late 60's and other parts of her familly are in green lanes and finsbury park shes turkish btw, I know about mosley and cable street and about the parks that have been named after poor asian kids in whitechapel - I used to pray in a mosque that was previously a jewish synagogue and before that home to french hugenouts its got a lovely sundial on the side of the building, and my family and myself have been in numerous incidents of violence in fact on one occasion my soon to be father in law was run out of green lanes by knife wielding youths who dident like the fact that he was turkish not kurdish, in manor house on rowley gardens where my elder cousin lives with his and my "immigrant" family he was recently robbed at gun point for a cheap chain, targeted because he also has a turkish partner, and the poor local residents are the ones who have been there for years and cant afford no where else, and social history yeah dude maybe I should read books you got some recomendations after all I havent spent anytime doing any reading/ research on a subject that is very real to me, you know being a second generation immigrant and all with family knowing they wont be getting rehoused in and around that area even though theyve been renting for over 15 years.

Either way the area is a shithole fact - its got culture though, but its shit and can be very dangerous the best thing about green lanes in my oppinion is the food but it doesent matter to me because I get carribean, russian and turkish food at home.

Im more annoyed at the fact that I will be moving to south tottenham next year but am currently in pimlico talk about a downgrade.......Im off to eat to some homemade dolma now.
Ohh and good day to you.

Fair enough buddy,I disagree with your assessment that it's a shithole but I understand that you and others have had a shit time.Sorry to hear that.
