time warp, december 24
I don’t spend a lot of time in Hasidic Williamsburg, but I do spend a lot of time driving through it. The first dozen or so times I drove through, it was just *odd*: there are sections which feel like certain parts of Jerusalem, giving me total deja vu, and others that just feel like we’re in the 18th century, making you feel like you’d temporarily stepped through some kind of time warp.
For example, this photo, which I took early Saturday afternoon. What year are we in? See the full, uncropped version after the jump.
