How about a Flatbush forum?

How about it? Or have I missed another forum that was supposed to include it?

I wonder if a Flatbush/Midwood/Ditmas Park/Kensington forum would be a good combo . . .
similar housing stock, big enough to give it a chance to get lively

Yeah, I suppose that might work. I'm not sure. On the one hand, Flatbush is a pretty big area (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatbush), so might warrant a board of its own. On the other, it would probably depend more on how many people actually used it than anything else.

Thanks for the wiki!
According to them, Ditmas Park, Kensington and Midwood are all part of Flatbush.
But I know people that live in those areas call them by the subdivided names . . .

Neighborhoods within Flatbush include Flatbush itself, the planned communities of Prospect Park South, Ditmas Park and Fiske Terrace. Bordering Flatbush on the north is the community of Crown Heights and the former neighborhood of Pigtown. On the east, within the old town of Flatbush is East Flatbush, on the west is Kensington and Greenfield and on the south by Midwood. Many consider Midwood to be a part of Flatbush, but historically it was part of the neighboring former towns of New Utrecht, Gravesend and Flatlands.

I think it's a really good idea for a board devoted to that area.
