“Bordering Flatbush on the north are the community of Crown Heights and the former neighborhood of Pigtown”
What a name for a neighborhood – and right beside Crown Heights! Its a shanda I tell you. BTW, what happened to this neighborhood?
“Parkville (formerly Greenfield)”
Even the neighborhoods anglicize their names. How does a neighborhood get its name changed? Its not like an immigration officer couldn’t spell it.
