"We Didn't Say It, But We Agree" Part 2!

Anyone who read our last post and clicked on the link to check out genius blogger, Maddy Madison's, post stating oh so clairvoyently that the Bronx is the new Williamsburg will not be surprised that we're covering the following New York Observer article: "Where Manhattanites Move When They Want to Stay in New York" (Yes, it's from April and we are shockingly behind the curve... I place the blame squarely on our teething 8 month old).

The Observer's Tom Acitelli sagely reports that from 2001 to 2006, the BoogieDown has led the three other outer boroughs in net gains of Manhattanites. Brooklyn has consistently been the second most popular destination for NYC residents fleeing the rapidly escalating rents of Manhattan.

As we all know, second place is for losers. Who's yo momma now Bill-Burg?

We Didn't Say It. She Did, and We Agree.

Very funny post from a blog by Maddy Madison, a lass who has been brave enough to claim the obvious:

"The Bronx is the New Williamsburg."

Click through to read why the aforementioned statement is true.

Gotta check out that roller-derby scene.

And I think we might have found a new Bronx slogan: "The other borough that starts with "BRO," kinda like that pork commercial. Mmmm...Pork.

So let us know, do you agree? Or is this all moving too fast for you? Was it too soon for the Bronx to introduce you its parents?
