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?

Brown Bomber: I live in Cobble Hill. Any one who grew up in Cobble Hill didn’t call it Cobble Hill, they called it South Brooklyn. That’s not 100 years ago, that’s a few decades ago. Before that, it was called Red Hook. Really, you need to relax a little.
The East Village was called Alphabet City 10 years ago. No one calls it that now. I could come up with dozens of examples. You lived in some place “almost ten years.”? I’d say you are not an authority on a neighborhood’s boundaries based on such a short time living in a neighborhood.
I think the pickiness over neighborhood names is sometimes a pissing contest, but it also matters — mainly when real estate agents stretch boundaries to make people think they’re buying into a “better” place than they are, and hence pay more. But Bstoner’s not doing that here, so nuff said.
For the life of me, I will never be able to understand why people get so passionate and are willing to spend so much time debating something as trivial as where one neighborhood ends and another begins. Get a grip, people! You have way too much time on your hands.
Okay, show me. Where? And please don’t go back 100 hundred years to prove your point. Let’s keep it to this century. You did say that this happened all the time, correct? Okay the where? And by proof I would like an offical declaration from a governmental body or agency and not some marketing brochure from Douglas Elliman. Where does it end? Okay, you win. Starting tomorrow, I’m going to call Clinton Hill Brooklyn Heights and put my house on the market for $10M!! Yahoo!! I’m rich!! Clinton Hill to Nostrand??!?! That’s like trying to sell me a Great Dane and telling me it’s a cat!! LOL!! Now I’m on the floor! 🙂
Border is on classon period. (always been)
And it is pretty clear that Brownstoner use it as an ajective.
Can we move on, please
Brown Bomber: neighborhood boundaries change over time, deal with it. You’re an authority on a neighborhood’s boundaries because you have lived there for 10 years? Give me a break.
At this point Clinton Hill extends to Nostrand in Real Estate parlance.
“Eastern” was meant only to be an adjective, not part of a proper name.
I said MOST people consider the blocks between Classon and Bedford to be Easter Clinton Hill. I didn’t say EVERYONE considers it to be that way. Obviously, you are one of the people who disagree with that.
