14. Aka Urban 75
Sat Feb 8, 2020, 06:12 PM
Feb 2020

It’s a Brixton, UK site. Like all of us, denizens there were in shock post 911. It was I think while the then NBC anchor was covering 911 that I discovered both DU and UB75. He said, let’s see what they’re saying over there on DemocraticUnderground and Urban 75.

I went to the internet and, low and behold, there they were. I posted my 911 experience on a heartbreaking thread over there and made around 4000 plus posts on UB75. It included members from the US, UK, and around the world. The threads didn’t drop fast like they did here, so it made for some interesting dialogue. Eventually I migrated here but, as you see, I don’t post much. I mostly lurk and really appreciate the discussions here (they’ve degraded a bit on UB75).

Anyway... I thank the OP for the heart, it’s a nice gesture.
