NYC ‘hood names

posted at 10:44 GMT by T.Whid in /news/twhid

I’m kinda confused by this post on Andera Harner’s photo blog. Is she saying that I am the dog? Or is she simply aiming the previous comment at yours truly?

I suppose she’s aiming the neighborhood abbreviation comment at me since I complained about NYC nabe abbreviations in the comments on this post.

My comments were this: re: NoLita

i know, i know, that one’s been around a while, but the NYC ‘hood names are really gettin’ outta hand.

pretty soon, every BLOCK is gonna have it’s own name!

my ‘hood in billsburg is called MidWilly (middle of williamsburg), there is also SoWilly and NoWilly. Those are my names. If you hear anyone use them, they stole ‘em from me.
But c’mon! You know I’m right! I can get more granular and call my block EebeeWeeberGrandMidWilly (East of Bedford, West of Berry, on Grand St. Middle of Williamsburg). permanent link to this post
