my high school was there so people were always cruising it - it was actually somewhat dangerous. inevitable for me since i had to go to school and events at night though (um, not that i was a cruiser).

the ridgewood thing is so true also - that's where i grew up and we also said brooklyn.

true, it is all about the few neighborhoods that usually if you're from one of those you hang out at the others and know ppl from the other neighborhoods...like people from astoria, whitestone, howard beach all run within the same circles and its definitely 6 degrees of separation
