A resident of Spanish Harlem myself, I totally agree; I was an a job interview on Monday, and the interview looked at my address and was like, "Wow, you're really up there!" Meanwhile, I'm only on 103rd; there are still many, many blocks farther north of me. And up north is where the few remaining pockets of old-school New York neighborhoods actually still exist, rather than the bougies downtown. When you've got a Chanel store in Soho, you know Downtown is in bad hands.
Yeah, you'd think we lived in the 18th century, in New Amsterdam or something.
