East of the area we now call Williamsburg
you'll find splotches of culture within industrial fences
walls are old and trucks hum back and forth
bringing the to and the fro
lofts used to be big as all life
now some rig figured up with a knife
the cost of space to displace
is a chase plus the waste of ones
time, dime and done-
it is never that fun.

For purposes of further clarity, here is Greenwick with northern and western neighbors. Tomorrow, we will look at LoftCity and Bushwick and their location in respect to Greenwick.

Expect a more accurate representation of Greenwick once The fotoUR finds his buddy The Surveyor. Feel free to argue boundries.greenwick

Yet another grand spotting by the infamous Curbed! Greenwick is sure to eliminate much of the confusion involve in explaining this area (which coincidentally happens to be the only spot in North Brooklyn with any affordable rentals). Perhaps it might be time for a Brooklyn version of the famed Hoodwinked contest hosted by Curbed a while back. We'll call it You Blinked!
The fotoUR must go do some real work today, but when he returns it will be time for nailing down the specifics for a contest. First order of business: Figure out what the hell to call that area over by Pratt that is too seedy to be Clinton Hill, too far north for Bed-Stuy, too east for Ft. Greene and (contrary to popular belief), DEFINITELY not Williamsburg. In Brooklyn, the Darthvelopers usually create the names.
