Mr. Beller's Neighborhood combines a magazine with a map. It uses the external, familiar landscape of New York City as a way of organizing the wildly internal, often unfamiliar emotional landscapes of the city dweller. It is about a specific place - New York - and it is about the many different consciousness that thrive and wilt and rage and reminisce here. We publish reportage, personal essays, photo essays-- any piece of writing that might illuminate a corner of life in the city. By and large everything you read on the site is true. The site has been running since June, 2000. The events of 9/11 were the site's focus for a while, but this is a site about a place, not a disaster, and we're open to all kinds of topics.
The front page of the site is a map of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. It's been divided into sections, each representing a neighborhood. If you click on one of these sections you zoom into that neighborhood.
On the neighborhood maps, the red dots link to articles. The green dots let you know where in the city you are.
Like any neighborhood, or city, or person, Mr.Beller's Neighborhood is a work in progress.
