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. Remember, you heard…

I once saw a black person in a Passat.
I will announce that Brooklyn is dead when Corcoran opens up an office on Pitkin Ave. in E. NY.
Billy Joel walked through Bedford Stuy alone, not East New York and not Brownsville. (I did too.) Bed Stuy has been a recognized name and has been portrayed in the media (positively and mostly negatively) but is an established enough area to not have to share its borders with less desirable neighbors. It’s bad enough that Bed Stuy is mostly prefixed by “Clinton Hill/Bed Stuy” by brokers renting out an apartment on Nostrand and Greene…
I think the next Mayor was being sarcastic, but I have to admit that I do miss the Koch years. NYC is ANYCITY, USA now. At least we’re still a blue state.
Since when being a renter a bad thing? With prices in NY what they are there are a lot of people in the middle income range who can’t afford to buy. Talk about real estate snobbery. And what’s wrong with 30,000 a year? It may not be enough money to live on for many families, but it’s a helluva lot better than nothing.
Why is everyone so bent out of shape over an innocuous piece of graffiti? Maybe it’s just a soldarity thing, maybe it’s just friends- I think Brownstoner just wanted a little light conversation, but we’ve been beating on him unmercifully.
So one person writes Tri-Hood in one location and it becomes a widespread thing.
Big deal! people write about easy women/men on men’s bathroom stalls.
Maybe Trihood meant that three friends from three different “hoods” feel that that had a bond that transends turf.
Why attack white people who gentrify as the perpitrating that uppity BedStuy is as bad as lower class ENY.
You think some volvo driving white man went into a housing project to write Trihood with a sharpie.
I think “Our next Mayor” was being facetious
Well according to “our next mayor” there is no crime or public assistance in anywhere in this city anymore. And I’m sure that no one would embellish anything on an anonymous internet blog, so he must be right…everything is honky dory.
