Just because the italians and jews moved out doesn't mean it has gone bad. It happens to be a nice west indian neighborhood.

Oy vey....people move away and expect the neighborhood to stay just as they left it--like mom and dad leaving their old bedroom intact long after they've grown up. You don't live there anymore, so why are you so upset and offended?

it is quiet not quite
and also it is accept change not except change.

with that taken care of, it is not YOUR NH. The people who live there now are the ones who can say it's THEIR NH. it USED to be your NH as in when you LIVED there as in PAST tense...... and maybe if you didn't want it to change, you should have stayed there and prevented "YOUR" school from being converted into a doctor's office.

This much is perfectly true. But having agreed with that, I must say that I know exactly where Lisalee is coming from. I was born in Brownsville...and in 2009 Brownsville bears absolutely NO relation to the neighborhood I lived in as a kid.

The history of every neighborhood in New York City in one word: change.
