Real Estate Agents Force "North TriBeCa" Moniker

2009_09_nortrib.jpg Of course: Some real estate marketers are bandying about a new neighborhood name for a sliver of already pretty tiny TriBeCa—it's "North TriBeCa"—and they tell the NY Times that North TriBeCa has turn-of-the-last-century buildings (or facsimiles of them); eastern TriBeCa has the high risey buildings which a broker says "feels more like the financial district." But another broker says, "As a marketing ploy, I’d say buyers who come to TriBeCa are among the more sophisticated, and they’re not going to fall for it."

No we won't fall for it. And can you PLEASE stop calling the Financial District "FiDi? It is offensive and demeaning to all who've ever lived or worked there.

Thank you. Same goes for those who call Hell's Kitchen 'Clinton'. Please die in a fire.

-preferrably a mattress fire, a urine-stained, bourbon-reeking mattress fire.

and east williamsburg(Its fvcking Bushwick). Dont forget those people too.

Lou Lou: East Williamsburg is NOT Bushwick. Bushwick is SOUTH of Flushing Ave. Why oh why is that so hard to remember?

This also goes for people who live in eastern-ish Williamsburg (i.e. near Bushwick Ave., north of Flushing Ave.) who like to claim they live in Bushwick for whatever lame-ass reason. Maybe they feel it's more "edgy"? LAME!

I think you should tell Jen Carlson this directly as she will be among the first to use FiDi ad nauseum to attract more young, hip guerilla advertisers.

How about SoWeMePa, that has a nice Mid-Western ring to it.
