“My husband says “clinton Hills” – I think Black folks like to add letters to words that don’t belong like I know many black folks say”
i’ve asked about this before because it seems most old timers (black and white) call the nabe clinton hills”
donatella, no way. northenn manhattan is gross and so far from everything. i would love to live in tribeca or hells kitchen. granted the family vibe of tribeca is totally lame and suburban but i like the bleakness of the area, same with hells kitchen. i agree about soho. it really makes me.. what’s the word, high strung? no… agitated i guess which is why i loooooove going back home to park slope cuz it’s so chill.
if i had to live in manhattan again i’d probably stick to the lower east side (but south of delancey and east of allen and north of canal – anything else is awful) Problem is I’m totally done living in crappy 5th floor walk up tenements.
Dona – I do, I know that – I do it as it’s part of my nature. I am curious and love people and I just notice things about folks and I throw it out there – mainly for discussion, but I hope I do it in humor and not offensively! Anyone that knows me knows exactly where I am coming from with my statements – but if it offends anyone here I can certainly cut it out!
Like I said when we all had that sorta open convo a few weeks back on race, I think if people were a bit more comfortable with each other and felt more free to say things, then you learn things from others – I have learned a lot and have been corrected quite a few times here on the OT – I like that openess!
just poking in for a minute. have to go to gym in few minutes.
Wanted DIBS to know I ventured to downtown Albania this morning to file my papers to get on the gravy train. Felt like applying for welfare (and I deserve it!).
Some nice townhouse blocks near downtown….I bet much cheaper than Brooklyn.
“I was in Soho the other day – getting a haircut – and I had an epiphany. I don’t like Soho. ”
amen sister. i have to be in that hell hole 5+ days a week and i really can’t stand it. just way too crowded and full of pretty useless retail (for a residential neighborhood) – that said, it is a pretty nice strip mall.
i love the cast iron architecture though, and it is pretty great in the morning (around 8am) when no one is on the street and the streets are super sunny.
Back from the nooner, Pete. Thanks for asking.

You’re right Pete I do. And besides that I need a compass. You can give me a dictionary and compass for my Christmas present.
