Speaking of neighboring neighborhoods, I’ll throw in my Two Cents about an adjacent neighborhood to Flatbush/Midwood. Good old Boro Park. Zip code 11219 is actually called Blythebourne. The area of 9th Ave. is (was) Linden Heights. The Higher numbered avenues fr. 18th. were once upon a time called Bensonhurst. We (You, Me and they)refer to it all as Borough Park. In Montreal, Que. for example, there’s a street where each side of the street is a different neighborhood. Oh yes. At the Central Avenue exit of the Nassau Expressway (828), there is one block that is Nassau County (LI) and the next is Far Rockaway, Queens. One side of the street is LI. Across the street is NYC. This shows that there are no clear cut boundaries and it all goes by the name residents call it.
