Tribeca

[civilservant]

in ED! at the top of Crystal Palace Road, next to the leisure centre...

Will Robert de Niro be spotted in Sainsbury's, or even M&S, soon?

? Please elaborate!

Wasn't that the terrible genocide ?

[Sally Eva]

this is what Wikipedia thinks it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribeca

[civilservant]

and that's what most people think Tribeca is

so i'm bemused to see it being used to big up a patch of ground that used to house a HAir PROducts WArehouse NExt to Goose Green, ED's favourite dog toilet. something like HaProWaNeGG would surely be a more appropriate name than 'The Tribeca'

Thank your lucky stars you're not in "Outta Crofton" (park)

I have to avert my eyes from that one too, and there were some "cribs" going in CP I believe

I mean, what's wrong with a Whisteria Court, or a Glades Court I ask

i saw the signage on the hoarding and sniggered.

"Tribeca'- Triangle below Canal Street is how the area got its name.

I don't know of any Canal Street in ED. Nor any canal.

Its pathetic giving the building such a pseudo hipster name.

I'm now expecting to see "Williamsburg Hights''Dumbo Court' 'Hoxton House' cropping up in our 'nabe

I always think of that end as the bottom of Crystal Palace Road!

[civilservant]

some people's bottoms are other people's tops - maybe i'll leave that thought there for now...

my thinking was that that's the north end, Sue, from where the wind blows bitter and cold down the road from Goose Green in winter

whether bottom or top, "I live in Tribeca - no 'The Tribeca' - at the bottom of Crystal Palace Road" - its very snigger-worthy. only a developer could come up with that, while busily concreting over every square centimetre in sight.
