Queens vets know that if you say "the 40s" you're referring to the ones in Far Rock

If you just say "40" or "40 projects" then Queens people know you're talking about southside

Coming up in NYC during the crack era and seeing the 360 the city has done I just can't consider ANY part of the city "rough" at this point, and that's a good thing. You may have little patches here and there but I prefer the word 'edgy'

Dennis....if the city did a 360, that's a full circle, which means we are exactly where we were! You mean 180.

LOL, I'm sorry for the writing errors and the exaggerating claim lol. But I just can't believe people still say that Washington Heights is still an extreme crime ridden area. You can easily name 10 areas that are worst than The Heights lol

Also, no one has mentioned Kingsbridge.
