What's my neighborhood technically called?

Subject: What's my neighborhood technically called?

im so confused. i live on 16th between 3rd and 4th ave. my friend lives on 15th between 3rd and 4th Ave. He says we're considered Gowanus. or are we South Slope? Cant be Park Slope. Help solve this mystery once and for all.

Gowanus. Soon to be Park Slope if the Real Estate agents have their way, even though it's at the bottom of the "Slope". Perhaps The South West Slope?

Not South Slope. The Park Slope border is generally considered to be 4th Ave, so I would call you Gowanus. Having said that, with the way the rezoning was handled, I suppose that a somewhat valid argument could be made for 3rd Ave in some areas. *shrug*

Gowanus, not South Slope at all.

Three votes for Gowanus. Someone lock the thread while it is still unanimous.

Gowanus

Gowanus. But I think one of our regulars here calls that area "The Taint."

eww the taint. haha

Gowanus.

3rd ave is solidly gowanus

Gowanus Heights...

Upper Gowanus?

gowanus

the gowanus' have it!

Gowaus...maybe Sunset Park, which some say runs from 15th Street to 65th Street and from 9th Avenue to 1st Avenue.

Either way, just chill and call it "Gowanus," which is becoming hipper than Park Slope.

a since they've fixed the impeller on the canal, the air is breathable....

There was a dream that was Park Slpe. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish, it was so fragile.

I like that one.

Its also no coincidence that the particular stretch
of the BQE right there, is commonly called The Gowanus.
:idea:

Even the word Gowanus.... has a smell.

hey.. who cares what the neighborhood is called.
If you are haooy living there .. it a good thing.
