New Macro-Nabe Trend Launches with "Tri-Hood"
We hadn’t read anything in the press yet about a movement to merge the neighborhoods of Bedford Stuyvesant, East New York and Brownsville into the appropriately named “Tri-Hood”, but this tag-up on the walls of the Louis Armstrong Houses on Lexington and Throop may be the start of a new macro-nabe trend.

Bukem: You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth. First, you assert that the “hood” in “Tri-hood” refers to hoodlums; then, you express skepticism about the possibility of gang activity in the betta boro.

So get used to it!
They can’t possibly be as bad as whatever neighborhood spawned the slime of you Anonymous at February 15, 2006 12:15 PM

I am going to go out on a limb and guess that this has nothing to do with real estate, renovators or trust funders. It is graffiti in a poor neighborhood, not a silly name like BoCoCa. It’s the opposite.
Itjbukem real nice free Mumia the man who shot and killed a police officer and was found guilty and convicted. Tri hood is the worst of the worst Ghetto garbage. Those who have never been to these slime areas should never go there. As far as house prices in these area they will be falling fast
I agree with Jason.
Represents Old School Brooklyn’s last stand against the trust funders
I agree with the original poster – there is something smarmy about this story. Then again, what else to expect from new Brooklyn?
has anyone noticed all of the new “bloods” graffitti showing up in ft greene lately?
