“It’s important for him to be remembered," (friend and neighbor Claudia) Imperiale said. "There are barely any original Park Slopers left in Park Slope. He was an important part of it... He loved his art, he loved rapping, he loved doing it. It's an important message for people to not give up.” (DNAinfo)
Many congratulations to all those involved with the petition to rename DeGraw, & best wishes to Robert Diaz's family - wife Shawntay, sons Raiden & Royce, and baby daughter. A beautiful tribute to Diaz, and to an older Park Slope.

I kept some earlier comments up for a couple of days, but have now removed them. Constructive comments, addressed with civility, are welcome, but the ones I deleted were more directed towards personal criticism than the good news mentioned in the post. Comments were directed at my own perceived ill-handling of the news, and my own many shortcomings as a blogger, but ironically our back & forth responses on this subject ended up as a glaring distraction from the good news itself. This seemed like a shame.
This is a small-circulation blog, with no commercial interests at stake.
