Is someone handing out cookies to assholes who come up with new names for neighborhoods that already exist? There's nothing "between" neighborhoods. You're either in one or the other. It's like for the last 20 years there were people living there who, when asked where they live in Brooklyn, they said "well, we don't really have a neighborhood. The real estate agents haven't brainstormed it yet. Maybe once we start to get gentrified..."
The Gowanus Canal or as we call it in from Bensonhurst way back when.... The Ganal [ combining the G with anal if you want to be trendy] is a place similar it it's shape-shifting abilities to the Erth's magnetic poles. The perimeter is determined by the stench nose wrinke factor at any given moment. The day the smell completely disappears, so does the raison d'eter of The Gowanus. itself. it's close cousin: The Coney Island Creek isbecoming lonelyfor another reason: Because not enough people with economic standing are suffering from it's stench perimeter range. I firmly believe neighborhoods should be named after their sewage treatment plants as bestowed upon them by those who live near them and not visa versa. e.g. Northwest Bay Ridge = "69th Street Crackhole Place" - Tony
