NEW NEIGHBORHOOD DEBATE ANYONE???
Hi folks! Let me first start off by saying that I intend to take/seek out FULL CREDIT for the coining of a new neighborhood-should it be met with the appropriate support (or indifference as the case may be). I went to look at a building today (possible purchase) and came away stymied as to what…
Hi folks! Let me first start off by saying that I intend to take/seek out FULL CREDIT for the coining of a new neighborhood-should it be met with the appropriate support (or indifference as the case may be). I went to look at a building today (possible purchase) and came away stymied as to what neighborhood I had actually just set foot in. To elucidate, the block is lined with pleasant brownstones, a few of which are currently under reno (so I’m no trailblazer here!), but in a decidedly “unexpected” place. Bet. Park (read BQE) to the east and Flushing to the West; Steiner Studios to the North; Ft. Greene Park to the South (and East of course); Pratt somewhere in between… The ‘hood is slightly reminiscent of the days (8 yrs. ago) when I was, in fact a trail blazer (sigh) and lived on 44th Drive just off 10th st. in L.I.C. At any rate, and please forgive my longwinded roundabout-I get there in the end-I have decided to name this lovely (and soon to be embraced, I assure you) stretch of asphalt …NAVY GREENE. Call me crazy but it’s got an ironically color blind ring to it, and, I think, justifiably demarcates” a neighborhood or swath of land that has heretofore been ENTIRELY ignored. My reasoning is as follows: It’s not Ft. Greene, that’s for sure (it so wants to be given it’s proximity to Myrtle but it just isn’t!). It ain’t Clinton Hill which is a good 12 minute walk west, and what, if anything does Navy Yard imply? (according the DOB this is where I was) other than Steiner Studios and some derelict buildings that Massey Knackal has already gotten their hands waiting for the day when the area does IN FACT have a suitable moniker. HENCE NAVY GREENE… And so all you Brownstoners out there-please (if you think its worth it of course 😉 LET THE DEBATE BEGIN! And FYI, I’m keepin’ tabs so always remember: regardless of the outcome- YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!!
Well, for what it’s worth OP, when I read your post last night it set me into a fit of giggles, and your humor and jolly state of mind proved contagious… sometimes this “place” needs a little “lightening up”… some folks take themselves and the site just a bit too seriously.
Have a great day!
9:22 Please forgive my “inappropriate use of the forum.” Seemed like the perfect place to put that out there and see if any INTELLIGENT visitors out there had anything to say about it- “good” or “bad.” Seeing as how you’ve managed to comment solely on a person you don’t know, not the question raised, your words become worthless. Make a comment directly related to the subject like “Jeez, that’s the stupidest name I’ve ever heard.” Or “It’s Clinton Hill and always has been you clown!” Those comments would be taken to heart. But “have another drink and go away?”… Bitter and dejected is no way to go through life 9:22. I think they have some meds out there (to be taken with a stiff drink of course), that could cure that ailment of yours.
losers
Sounds like a nice name. But I’m still kind of confused as to where exactly it is.
OMG, you are a DELIGHT!! so witty and clever.
a regular Oscar Wilde.
Let what debate begin?
Are you the same idiot who is here every couple of days, a ‘writer’ perhaps. Have another drink and go away. This is an inappropriate use of the forum.
And so it begins. Thanks so much for the advice “guest”. I would expect nothing less. Your comment is duly noted. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on who you ask), there’s no alcohol involved here. Perhaps too much time on my hands, but nothing as nefarious as a cocktail. Please do continue to sound off though, preferably with a somewhat more enlightened and engaging statement… Cheers!
It’s too early on a Saturday night for you to be already that drunk! Take a nap, it’ll wear off soon!
