I grew up in Park Slope, until I went away to college. As an adult, I have lived in Morningside Heights, Upper West Side, Prospect Heights and Kew Gardens.

..and of these, which was your favorite?

I was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and have also lived in Jamaica, Queens, and these Brooklyn neighborhoods: Midwood, Sheepshead Bay, Park Slope.

I would just like to say that, as a transplant and not a native NY'er, it is so refreshing to see people who have lived in such diverse neighborhoods. People I know who live in, say, Park Slope or Carroll Gardens tend to think anything on the other side of Prospect Park is like kryptonite -- and don't even mention Queens past Forest Hills.

My parents are immigrants. They lived in Manhattan first in the '50s and had my oldest sister. Then they moved to the Bronx and had two more kids.

Then they moved to Brooklyn and I came along. Born and raised in Bay Ridge and I'm still here.

Looking at the responses it looks like I am in the running for the title "who controls the largest amount of citydata" on this website. Circumstances pushed me out on my own as a teen. Being broke, young and on my own led me to move often. The bright side was that when I first struck out on my own in the early to mid 1990's the outer boroughs were affordable for a young teen hustler as this time was pre-yuppie/hipster/d-bag invasion. Basement apartments could be had for $500 back then and two bedroom for $650.


My story started on Knickbocker Ave in Bushwick. The Samyn On The Green family lived in Bushwick for 80 years but we were run out by the rioting welfare parasites in 1977 when I was just a little kid. From there I lived in Flushing on and off for 19 years. Inside of this time I also had one or two year stints in Floral Park, Bellerose, Ozone Park and Whitestone. Then after Flushing there was a time in Maspeth which led to 18 months on the Astoria/LIC border. After that I was out of town for a while. When I returned to New York it was two years in Bayside which led to a return engagement in Floral Park. Then there was a short foray out of town for a while and then a triumphed return which led to less than a year in Morris Park in the Bronx. Since then I have been in my present location for over five years.

SAMYN, '"we were run out by the rioting welfare parasites, in 1977...."' Poor New Yorkers: They seem to be always run out of their own city by other groups. Now, is the Hipsters! Start running again, SAMYN, they are coming in mass.........and they are not native New Yorkers, but from many, many other states across America!

I'm not going anywhere, I am still here. As the crime starts to ramp up to full throttle the thousands of the transplants will not be here for long. Samyn just sharpens his stiletto and remains vigilant.
