    Default Dear Brooklyn Readers, Where Are You From?

    As in where do you live now? Not where you were born.

    Brooklyn led the NYC poll so let's drill down further. I'm going to go by this map. Hopefully it does the trick. If you feel your neighborhood isn't named just try to place yourself using the map.

    My Dad was from Brooklyn.

    Back in the day when the Dodgers still played at Ebbets Field.

    Really curious if any one neighborhood will win out and reveal the location of the anti-life equation. Maybe we can have a CBR hangout there one day

    No, they're different. Hell's Kitchen is also known as Clinton, primarily from a business/real estate perspective who prefer the more neutral sounding name but that's distinct from Clinton Hill.

    Hell's Kitchen would also be in Manhattan, not in Brooklyn.

    I was there a few times, its actually pretty small. Didnt know why the Kingpin wanted it so badly in the Netflix series. He should have gone for NY.
    Sadly I didnt see Daredevil, but I was at Peter Parkers house in queens. Ingram Street :-)

    I think most New Yorkers find it hilarious whenever they frame the battles over Hell's Kitchen as some kind of epic power struggle over a vast empire or territory. Imagine a superhero claiming Williamsburg or Jackson Heights or something.

    Flatbush area currently
    THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki

    also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.

    currently following:
    • DC: Red Hood: The Hill
    • Marvel: TBD
    • Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

    So the anti-life equation is hidden inside a top-knot.
