There’s a t-shaped urban oasis called Brower Park that sits in the center of Crown Heights. Four acres of grass, trees and concrete, surrounded by the blocks that faced riot gear and broken glass during the Crown Heights riots 26 years ago. Brownstones lining those streets peer almost ominously, as if the energy of the park has drawn them in after years of watching from such a close distance. It was in this park, where a group of kids came together, they called themselves Gloss Gang.
