Fort Greene Dreams is a small window into the life story of Nelson George, who moved to that area in 1985 from Queens. The text is in an essay format written by himself. through We learn that he did not envision himself living in an apartment ever again due to the quality of housing he had endured in other apartments such as the projects. His new apartment was a wide open field with twenty-foot-high ceilings, wood floors and a backyard.For him after living in a government built and run apartment complex this was a whole other plain of existence.  Also, it is not only the house that he valued but the surrounding area as well. in his description “The streets were lined with tall, thick trees fronting magnificent brownstones. There was a picturesque park with rolling hills and tennis courts.” Also the location was ideal for him due to its proximity to Manhattan and the people that he knew and meet there. For seven years it was his home and writing-center from winch he wrote  five books, screenplays and produced several movies. Nelson stated that his ambition grew in this apartment like they wanted to fill out all available space. he acknowledged that “vitality of black culture”  of that period overstimulated him in its inspiration.  After release of the  movie “She’s gotta have it”, which Mr. Nelson produced, Fort Green attracted other “artsy black folk” and newspapers “The New York Times”  also advertised that area,  making Fort Green a synonym for Brooklyn boheme. soon he became something of a producer or PR manager. He became a mentor and a teacher for young talented youth and he helped them with advises and emotional support and also provided them with useful contacts that helped them to move up. He valued living a full active life  and to  be productive. What he wanted have for himself and for others is to “achieve a sustain excellence”.
