Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Jan 23 17:29:48 2008, in response to Re: G Train to be cut back to Court Square permanently, posted by Dupont Circle Station on Wed Jan 23 13:15:01 2008. Knickerbocker Ave deteriorated by the late 70's, but only Myrtle from around Wyckoff, and then under the el went bad. The rest of Myrtle has remained relatively healthy. Vacant stores rarely stay empty long. The block of Myrtle between Cypress and St Nicholas was always a little seedy, and then of course as you go under the el, but the further you get from Wyckoff on Myrtle, the better it gets.Ridgewood now has a strong influx of Polish people over the last few years, and it's really shaping up, especially the further you get away from the L train. Bushwick too is having it's own rebirth. While it's still marginal comparing it to Ridgewood, it's come a LONG way over the last 5-10 years, and it's night and day from the mid 80s when it hit rock bottom. With Ridgewood's maintained strenght pushing in from the north, and with the gentrification of Williamsburg pushing in on the other side, as well as Bed-Stuy's own gentrification, Bushwick's future looks brighter than it has in dacades. |
