In the meantime While all the Ashkenazim are moving to Lakewood, the Syrians are taking over Flatbush Midwood.
Used to be the cutoff was like Ave P, then it became ave O, now you have Syrians living all the way through ave J majority, and you even have Syrians going from the Lower east all the way to the 20s.
While Yeshivas like The Mir on ave R and E 7th are slowly losing all there children, you have syrian yeshivas exploding used to just Ateret Torah now you have a dozen new Yeshivas popping up dedicated to Syrians and sephardic such as YDE.
as one group leaves another group is replacing them. Flatbush/Midwood is very much In town
