edited November -1 in Crown Heights/Prospect Lefferts Gardens
there has been a lot of talk on the bed stuy/ch lists of late on naming "micronabes" within bed stuy, as the area is so huge.
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.
my question is...what individual or group made this happen in crown heights so that we can get this moving in our part of town?

thanks crown heights!

    or just get a whole bunch of Realtors ;) to start selling in a area with a different name and it will pick up soon after that.

    I think some of them actually think that the Van Wyck is "the new border" but we all know they're full of shit. :wink:

    Can we just not call them "micronabes"? That just sounds obnoxious. O:)
