Where the hell is Bedford Hill?

booklaw

Only the Realtor knows...

Fivestars

It is the area between Classon and Bedford Ave. named after the famous cafe on Greene and Franklin.

Ah, to live in the clouds!

It is the area between Classon and Bedford Ave. named after the famous cafe on Greene and Franklin.

That the first time I've heard of the "famous" cafe and I've been living in the area for a few years. Would it kill you to say Crown Heights or Prospect Heights? You know the actual neighborhood names.

Fivestars

Clearly you don't live in the area! Bedford Hill is in Bedford Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill.

newguy88

Haha I don't live in the area really?! So what your saying is its actually bedstuy or Clinton Hill?

Fivestars

Google Bedford Hill before you comment. Larger neighborhoods have names for different areas. Park Slope has North and South, Bed Stuy has Stuvesant Heights, and Bedford Hill. Get over it already! Open house is Sunday at 12 for any serious buyers.

newguy88

I'd recommend using an agent who doesn't insult people on his or her postings that's just me though.

Fivestars

If you bothered to click the link you would see this is for sale by owner! Once again, get over yourself please.

newguy88

Yeah that's what I'd thought you'd say. Also a quick Google search brings up the coffee shop, a town in Pennsylvania and a hamlet in Westchester. No mention whatsoever of this area in Bedstuy. Caveat emptor.

Fivestars

Right! Since you also need help searching and reading... see below, http://www.brooklynpaper.com/stories/34/19/all_opedneighborhoodnamespro_2011_5_6_bk.html

You know that this is the game. Change the name of the neighborhood and the nouveau riche will come. The south slope/gowanus creep as been shifting into sunset park for ages. I laugh when someone calls 32 street greenwood heights, even though, the cemetery is there, no one who has been here more than 15 years calls it "greenwood heights". These are marketing ploys, like "partial birth abortion", being used to describe a mid to late term abortion where the fetus STILL isn't viable, but must be extracted through a delivery like process.

When a community changes over the years as much as this one has, a new name is in order. It's not the same place anymore, not even close.

So when does the USA get its new name? We aren't the same place as we were in 1776. Not even close

Fivestars

Each state that was added since then has a new name. Today the country had regions, north east, south, mid-west and west that did not exist before either. The USA has plenty of new names as it evolved so your comment makes no sense if you know anything about what you are saying.

I said USA, not Texas or Mississippi or any other state added after the fact, which were known as territories anyway. The USA has been the USA since 1776, no one saw the need to rename something just because it changed. Just be honest about your motivation.
My comment still stands hun, that your renaming is a clever way to disguise what might be off putting to your nouveau riche clients

I guess you are ignoring that the West, Mid-West, were not part of the USA, neither was Pacific Park part of Brooklyn, which is a new neighborhood entirely that is official and ajacent. The area has changed and evolved and my well written ad if you bothered to read it describes that. The USA has many different names to describe its expansion west and elsewhere, so your comment is pointless.

Fivestars

FYI, New York and NJ were not called the North East of USA until the country expanded West. Hence a new name!

Okay, so when we added these states how come we didn't amend the constitution to say: United States of America IMPROVED tm or United States of America version 2.0 tm?

Personally I like version 2.0 it sounds futuristic.

I vote that we rename the USA:
The people's non-democratic republic of have and have nots.

I think we need to find a liberal arts major and see if they are bruised.

Very well aware of it and it drives me up the wall. I remember when I first moved in some agents were trying to call parts of Crown Heights Crowhill. Then a few started trying to claim that western Crown Heights was actually Prospect Heights. Also the new neighborhood of East Williamsberg.

whynot_31

Now that your neighborhood has coffee shops, sit down restaurants, a lower crime rate and craft beer ....it can ask for its name back.

I wouldn't mind naming EP to Atlantic Bedford Heights (Bedford Stuyvesant Crown Heights).  I am always confused on how the border of Bedford Stuyvesant moved north from EP to Atlantic.  When I was a kid, I always remember calling north of EP Bedford Stuyvesant.  A new name for that area would put things back in order in my little mind.  

I recall that we had a conversation on this a couple months back.  

Apologies in advance to those in northern Crown Heights that feel attached to the name Crown Heights; I don't mean to offend you - Just an idea to ponder.
