Ah, Clinton-- the tenderloin district--
From the cop who was assigned to the area, and said-- Oh, it's no more chopped beef for us-- we're eatin' tenderloin now! --

Any one who saw the movie "sleepers" saw bits and peices of Clinton--

As for chelsea-- it was named for the same in england-- just as greenwich villiage was.(and it is till an irish part of town and has some great bars-- next time you're in NY, we can go to Moran's-- 10th Ave and 19th street-- right in the old meatpacking district.

I work steps away from the old "5 corners" -- a worse den of vice was not to be found-- but now at the edge of the civic center.. and all cleaned up.

the expression "23, skiddoo!" is from NY--

Wow-- my Boston area knowledge is not too good--
do you know the kiddy game--
Trot, trot to boston,
trot, trot to lynn?
are boston and lynn very close? Is lynn one of those town swallowed up into greater boston.. and lost?
