Western Crown Heights very much so with Franklin Ave solidly gentrified and Nostrand closing in. The shooting was somewhere on Utica Avenue though in the Weeksville section which is several blocks east of Nostrand.
One interesting thing is how much more gentrified Utica Avenue is when going north to the Stuyvesant Heights part of Bed-Stuy where Utica Avenue becomes Malcolm X Boulevard.
Not really, you can tell by the housing stock, it's better north of Fulton Street

Are we saying the same thing as in Utica Avenue in Crown Heights has not gentrified while it has do so in Bed-Stuy?
Yes, thats correct
Some side streets off of Utica Avenue south of Fulton Street have nice limestone dwellings, and pre-war apartment buildings, but the majority of it is wood-frame aluminum siding houses, and new construction crap, especially north of Bergen Street (that actual building where this happened is a good example of what I'm talking about). Also a large NYCHA development a bit to the east (Kingsborough Houses). I suppose proximity to the LIRR in earlier times lowered the desirability of the area. Nobody wants to live around constant soot.

dices? what game is that?
when i think underground gambling, i'm thinking card based games like hold em. really that's it.
It was both!
"Dice were thrown, cards were dealt and shots were fired inside a Brooklyn social club Saturday morning, leaving four dead and three others injured".
Not to make fun of a tragic situation but...
"dices, cards, shots, oh, my"!
Who would've thought over a game of dice?? but then again whenever money is involved?
...or sometimes not even money is involved.
I've seen people go at it over a game of scrabble...
So then I thought, maybe alcohol was involved.
Alcohol and money but nope...
“It is sparsely decorated. We do not see any evidence of alcohol consumption. What we see is evidence of some gambling, specifically cards, specifically dice,” said NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermont Shea.
the only betting game involving dices that i know is craps and i highly doubt they had a craps table up in crown heights.
Well there is street craps and cee lo
