According to a whole hell of a lot of people, I live in Clinton Hill or Bushwick or Williamsburg but rarely does anyone call the area where I live Bed-Stuy. I think many people think that Bed-Stuy ends at Lexington, and the vast space between Lex and Flushing/Classon and Broadway is just someplace else. One time I heard this area being called Tompkins Park North. I kinda like that name. You know, I can’t argue this one with ya, Jeremy.

Hmmmmm.

Now you'll find them in Bushwick and Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn, and Astoria in Queens.” Wow…Bushwick & Bed-Stuy all in the sentence. Go figure!?

I had a choice btw Bushwick or Bed-Stuy; I relocated to Bed Stuy instead. I noticed more gentrification in the nabe & I was able to get a great price on my condo loft.
