At the foot of the Verrazano Bridge lies Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, home to the Lordz of Brooklyn and a world of co-existing extremes: wealth, poverty, love, hate, delight, doom, suburbia, city, diversity, sameness. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, Lordz founder Mike "Mr. Kaves" McLeer discovered his turf wasn't always easy to navigate. But he understood his neighborhood and its contrasts, and he used that insight to help the Lordz find success. (From www.lordzofbrooklyn.com BIO)
