More Development in Eastern Clinton Hill
Clearing and digging work started at this vacant lot on the corner of Grand and Greene in Clinton Hill a couple of weeks ago. We’ve yet to hear any specifics about what’s going up or who’s doing it. Anyone got the 411?

white!
For what it’s worth: A friend of mine who grew up in Bay Ridge, lives in Clinton Hill, and works as a real estate appraiser, told me that there used to be a neighborhood called “Franklin” that ran from Classon to Bedford. Since that’s only five blocks, the name didn’t stick for very long. But since Clinton Hill had already come to be known in the public consciousness as ending at Classon, and Bedford was known to be the start of Bedford-Stuyvesant, we’re left with all this silly confusion about where Clinton Hill ends. Perhaps we should just start calling that area Franklin again and be done with it.
What ever happened to peace, love and happiness??!?!? It’s MLK weekend for crying out loud. “Can’t we all just get along?!?!?” LOL! 🙂
Folks you’re taking yourselves and the subject matter way too seriously. Throw back a few Vicodins and wash it down with some good old fashion bubbly! Mates relax.
Henceforth, I promise to use proper etiquette when posting. My sincere apologies Mr. B.
Brown Bomber, learn some manners
BrownBomber,
I think you need to stop with the insults and learn to recognize sarcasm.
BTW, I am NOT a broker. Also, just because I have a different opinion than yours does not mean that I am full of Camel poop. As you can see from this discussion, there is a whole range of opinions on this subject. Additionally, I am a man, so for future insults that you fling at me, please use the correct pronoun. Thanks
Wow!?! That was easy. Time for the old Johnny Drama cheer – “VICTORY!!!”
Everyone pleae give up.
Brown Bomber is obviously the authority on this subject.
This is because he uses more exclamation points than anyone else and because he uses profanity when he disagrees with someone else.
Brown Bomber you win, thanks for your help on this.
I love Bed-Stuy too, I spend a lot of time there because Fulton Street in Clinton Hill or Fort Greene may be coming up, but the real day-to-day shopping is farther down in Bed-Stuy. I wouldn’t have a problem living in Bed-Stuy, I just believe that Franklin is the border, not Classon. My house is on Cambridge place, in the Clinton Hill Historic District, two blocks from Classon.
According to the Encyclopedia of New York City,
Clinton Hill is “bounded to the north ny the BQE, to the east by Classon Ave, south by Atlantic & west by Vandelbilt.” The neighborhood is named for DeWitt Clinton. This is encyclopedia is a great resource, partcularly for a site like this.
