But LES can go above Houston. East Village cannot go past 14th and cannot go below Houston. 1st Avenue is the end of it for us if you're being strict about it.elkuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002946214914910451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-54378471041494404162009-10-24T11:06:40.978-04:002009-10-24T11:06:40.978-04:00Not self-righteous just bitchy and bothered about ...Not self-righteous just bitchy and bothered about the nonsensical drivel that is wasted here by people who act like they know-it-all when in-fact they know shit.

In the 80's it was suddenly called the East Village and we laughed about how real estate people cooked up the name.

The LES encompasses everything from approx Grand Street up till about 14th ST and 1st Avenue. The EAst Village was always everything between Houston and 14st and between the Bowery and the East River. I should know I grew up there (on Avenue D with the animals) long before the prettyboys, Hippies, Frat Boys, EV Grieve, Jermiah Moss, ad nauseum ever appeared.

To the tough boys of the Lower East Side we would never accept the name 'East Village', it meant pantsified faggot drivel. No way would I use that name in my teen years! Of course the years pass and the tough boys have disappeared from the Lower East Side and one by one they have fallen to the corporate building and ownership of the 'East Village' which has become another safe investment in money hungry New York. A horrible history greed will write for us...<br /><br />Mick<br /><br />www.mykoladementiuk.comMykola Dementiukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267125930152870083noreply@blogger.com
