Re: landmarking Western parts of Bed-Stuy: I live on Hancock between Marcy & Tompkins and I know our block association president has had some talks with the adjacent block association about landmarking at least this stretch of Hancock. I believe they have contacted the LPC. Getting many more block associations involved is a great idea. If you contact Bridge St. Development Corp. (over at Nostrand & Jefferson) they can put you in touch with our block association and probably others too…

the wine shop has been open for months. very nice couple who LOVES their vino.
This is an excellent starting point.

Also contact the Landmarks Preservation Commission and get specific information on how to file a petition for historic designation and protection.

anon 8:19, have you got contact info for the crown heights landmarking effort? i’d have no problem stepping up for so-called bedford heights, have been wanting to establish a coalition of block associations in the area for awhile now. problem is, many associations are more social (like mine on greene ave btw bedford & nostrand) than political. nothing wrong with block parties and trips to atlantic city, mind you, but something to stop the spate of cinderblock & plywood specials would be a fresh approach.
the greene ave. house looks promising-whats up fillmore? can’t get the link! great block…
All we need is to follow the process Crown Heights just went through to establish its historic district. We extend the Stuy Hgts. district to include the previously proposed district, which I believe goes up to Madison and over to Patchen. Bedford Heights would be appropriate from Marcus Garvey over to Bedford and from Decatur to Quincy. All that’s needed is someone to lead the effort. I’m sure many others would follow.
how does a neighborhood get landmark status, and a new name?
all of this talk about designating areas of bed stuy with different names is so overdue-make it happen already! the area is too HUGE to simply lump under one title. i live in western bed stuy, on greene & bedford. it’s great. my block feels like clinton hill did not so long ago-they’ll probably call it clinton hill in a few years. walk north and it feels different. walk further east and it feels very different again. bedford heights is a good one-still maintains it’s connection to bed stuy but with distinction.
The longer they wait the more crap these developers throw up. What’s the hold up?
