Yep - that's why I called my neighborhood an OLD suburb. You can tell it was, but isn't really any more...because the sprawl has enveloped the area as it creeps...now it's just part of everything else. |

Talking about suburbs! According to various website, Toney is a suburb of Huntsville. Alot of these websites say that Toney population is more than 10,000. Is this true because the atlas says that Toney is around 500?

I know the area well, right off the Brooklyn bridge. It is now consider safest area in the city. You know why?  |

Politically, yes, the city consists of the five boroughs. Historically and socially, THE city is Manhattan. They don't call people coming from the boroughs: "bridge and tunnel people" for nothing.
