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?

Veggie, the only people who “consider the blocks between Classon and Bedford to be Eastern Clinton Hill, and the blocks between Washington and Classon to be Central Clinton Hill” are deceptive real estate brokers and other agents of gentrication attempting to rebrand themselves and erect additional silos in once cohesive communities. CH is CH. Nothing else. As a resident and brownstone owner in CH for the greater part of 10 years, I can assure you that long time residents do not make this ridiculous distinction. East of Classon is the growing and promising community of Bedford-Stuyvesant. To the west is the growing and thriving community of Clinton Hill. Everything else is a load of camel poop. BB

Not trying to create a new nabe, don’t worry!
I heard it is going to be strictly residential from Eddy, the guy who runs the furniture restoration place next door on Greene.
understood. just checking mate. clinton hill is just a slither of a neighborhood anyway, no need to carve up into bits and pieces. my apologies, ‘stoner man!
I don’t think that “eastern clinton hill” is trying to be a new neighborhood but rather refering to the eastern side of clinton hil. “Clinton Hill East” or something of this sort might be trying to coin an new neighborhood but I think adding a qualifier to a neighborhood such as “eastern” doesn’t do it.
Sure people abuse this with East Williamsburg and Park Slope South but it only becomes abuse when the term is used to stretch the boundries beyond the main neighborhood which b’stoner has not tried to do.
stoner, “eastern clinton hill”? no such neighborhood in brooklyn. why bother with another meaningless line of demarcation. “more development in clinton hill” would suffice. you provided the cross streets, that’s more than enough to denote the location for the topographically challenged. no compass needed here, unless you’re trying to differentiate this “part” of clinton hill from another……
I’m afraid that I’m pretty certain that I had heard it was going to be the same as the “cheap looking bricks” building a block up grand.
I just hope the do not use the same cheap looking bricks that they did two doors down on the otherwise inoffensive new five story apartment building on Grand.
