you thought I was done...

While procrastinating, I looked up some wikipedia facts on Bethnal Green. It's a winner of a neighborhood!

1. Jack the Ripper lived there (and in Whitechapel next door - the neighborhood where I get groceries! Holla!)

2. A large amount of unexploded bombs remain in the area from the Battle of Britain in WWII, but because it's a slum the city can't be bothered to excavate them

3. The band the Libertines lived there and used to throw "Guerilla Gigs" in their flat with lots of sex, drugs, and (obviously) rock 'n roll

4. The only people listed under "notable residents" were gangsters, musicians, and Jack the Ripper.

That was fun. Maybe I'll do Mile End (my neighborhood!) after I write a few more pages...
