 Lost In Brooklyn The Times' ignorance about Brooklyn geography is one of the things that has exasperated me about the paper going back to when I first started writing Smartertimes nearly 13 years ago (examples from then are here, here, and here). The latest example is a headline over an article in today's paper: "Vote This Week May Close a North Brooklyn Hospital." The article is about Long Island College Hospital, which is in what the Times consistently describes as "the gentrifying Cobble Hill neighborhood." Anyone familiar with Brooklyn knows that "North Brooklyn" is Williamsburg and Greenpoint, while "South Brooklyn" includes Cobble Hill. One could consult the book The Neighborhoods of Brooklyn, or even Wikipedia, for confirmation.
