That appears to be very much the case right now. Washington Heights may be the exception, but by and large all people of modest means that haven't lucked into a rent controlled or regulated apartment...

If you were slow, then you blow--they're sold out. Unless you can score an extra at the door on bout night, forget about it.

Manhattan, NY – October 17, 2006 – Gotham Girls Roller Derby (GGRD) will throw down...

Don't mean to be polarizing, but I've seen more good looking black women in the south and the midwest than nyc.

Their 1st "official" bout will be April, 2007. But until then, you can check their website for possible exhibition games...

BRONX VS. QUEENS – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13th

Gotham Girls Roller Derby is throwing superstition to the wind - their next season game is set for Friday...

I've passed through it in cab rides going down linden blvd from JFK and I guess I did miss them. They must be hiding.

Will the hipsters and the artists go for living in east new york? No rock clubs, coffee shops, thai restaurants, and brewpubs over there.:p

As a native brooklynite, I'm very much in agreement. I would add east flatbush as well-next door to crown heights-not quite as crime ridden as CH, but still a grimy area. I passed thorough East...

Back in the day, being a visitor to the neighborhood was enough to bring out the racism in the residents.

At a hs reunion a few years ago, I discovered that some of the people who grew up there...

The small middle income demographic are really rich people who have been rendered middle class by the cost of living while a significant number of poor people are really middle income people who are...

Utica Ave--Popeye's Fried Chicken, Fruit and Vegetable stores with brown rotting vegetables, illegal vans constantly beeping their horns and picking people up, broken glass and garbage strewn...

Check the ny press or the village voice to see if there are any bands that you wanna see at cbgb. They're closing up for good later this year, so you may wanna consider going to an "institution"...

The areas around church ave, new york avenue, and utica ave in east flatbush are very filthy. There are some nice homes in the area, but the vast majority of the area has garbage strewn all over the...

I would definitely accept your view that bay ridge has changed since the 70's, however, speaking from my own personal experience going to high school in bay ridge in the 70's, hearing with my own...

The only reason I appreciated the conductor on the subway was that if you were really paranoid about crime, that his car was the one car you could ride knowing that a thug wouldn't mess with you....

The neighborhoods of Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, going all the way back to the 70's from my recollection, have always had a special hatred for black people. The white ethnic enclaves in the outer...

If I have the time, I will do so. But I can say for sure that east flatbush from what I saw last year was about the same as it was in the 80's.

My question too:D. Or east flatbush for that matter. They're starting to colonize bushwick, so maybe anything is possible. Open up a few rock clubs and espresso bars and its a done deal.

I intend to see a little bit more of brooklyn on my next visit.


Wonder why the french immigrants aren't setting up shop in east ny, east flatbush, and bed sty?:rolleyes: Obviously, they are...

I come back to nyc regularly, but I haven't been to midwood since the 80's. I tend to hang in manhattan.

And as for the last remark, I intended no offense against the hasidim, just a little...

Flatbush near brooklyn college isn't that bad, but east flatbush is very dirty. Midwood was ok the last time I visited-mid 80's. Ocean pky and Mill Basin, nice areas. Bed Sty has blocks that are nice...

Having grown up in Brooklyn.....I'm very much in agreement. True points about seattle despite its lack of racial and ethnic diversity.
