b"We\\u2019ve heard in previous episodes about how Bushwick has become one of Brooklyn\\u2019s most dynamic communities for everything from food to art. Take a walk around the neighborhood, and you\\u2019re sure to notice another scene that\\u2019s thriving here: thrift stores and vintage shops. But that\\u2019s not without some complicated feelings, as some people see the increasingly hip secondhand industry as a herald of gentrification.\\n\\nThis week, we sit down with one of the owners behind Bushwick\\u2019s newest vintage shop to discuss: What makes a secondhand store tick, and what role can it play in Bushwick\\u2019s future?\\n\\nAFTER THE EPISODE:\\n\\nWe\\u2019d like to extend our sincere thanks to Cat and her partners in MCM for taking us behind the scenes of the vintage world, and sharing more about their early work here in the community. To learn more, follow Brooklyn Vintage Company on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/brooklynvintagecompany/), or visit them for yourself at 194 Irving Ave.\\n\\nOf course, we\\u2019d also like to thank you for tuning in. We\\u2019ll be back next week with our final episode of the season, an exciting collaboration with our friends at the new Bushwick blog, This Bushwick Life (https://www.thisbushwicklife.com).
