Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Nov 18 21:59:40 2009, in response to Re: New York Neighborhoods, posted by SMAZ on Wed Nov 18 21:30:19 2009. I don't think Lefrak City has a zip code, AFIK. But Lefrak isn't a "neighbrohood", it's a housing development.But anyway, what you say is correct, but in Queens, it still has it's zip code lines, which correspond to it's neighborhoods. That doesn't mean that neighborhood "lines" haven't moved. They most certainly have. In fact, the Brooklyn/Queens border even moved over the last slightly over a 100 years. It used to be a slash right from Newtown Creek straight across blocks and even houses on it's run towards the Cemetery of the Evergreens. Once the area got developed between Bushwick and Ridgewood, there were blocks, and even houses cut in half. You could have a kitchen in Brooklyn, and a bedroom in Queens! That was a problem, so they zig zagged the Queens/Brooklyn border so that at least houses and blocks weren't cut in half (now the worst that happens is one side of a street is Queens, and the other is Brooklyn, but at least the buildings aren't cut in two municipalities. This could also be the reason for the bizarre Ridgewood situation, but again, that's another topic). |
