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.
ReplyDeleteChillmaster lookin fine as all!
ReplyDeleteI love chillmaster! I live right down the block and he plays the best music from my era!
ReplyDeleteOmg. All these years… I wondered…. Who was in there. Hello Chillmaster.
ReplyDeleteHa, I used to walk past his apartment all the time with him sitting on his sofa drinking a Heineken and listening to his music or watching his big screen tv.
ReplyDeleteCHILLMASTER IS BACK, OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER! (Well, no, but this is a nice thing in a crap time.)
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, Chillmaster! That block is now a bit brighter again.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this guy!
ReplyDeleteI was with Marty Wombacher on one of his Chillmaster adventures. I'll just say that the experience was rather unique. :)
ReplyDeleteGood to see him back. All is right with the world. Or at least on 3rd street.
