The return of The Chillmaster!

Photo and text by Stacie Joy

Renovations continue at First Houses, the city's first public housing complex along Avenue A between Second Street and Third Street. 

Many tenants were relocated to other city properties with the option to return. 

One returning resident is none other than The Chillmaster, known for cranking classic R&B from his open window. 

One recent day, I was walking along Third Street when I heard Doug E Fresh's "The Show" in the distance. 

Could it be?

Sure enough, there was The Chillmaster, doing what he does best (chilling). 

He happily agreed to a photo through the window, sharing that he's been home for about a month and couldn’t be happier to be back.
You can read more about The Chillmaster in this 2011 EVG post.

Welcome back, Chillmaster! I live just down the block and I must confess I missed his playlist, especially during the summer. For me that's how you can always mark the first truly nice day of the year in NYC: everyone plays their music just a little louder.
