@karatzas_thomas @modal The absurd thing is the Wikipedia article for Hudson Square claims it goes back to the 1800s… I feel like I’m getting gaslit by someone

@bernhardsson @modal Yea they totally renamed it to gentrify it. Like Hudson yards. SF does it a lot too (ex: Rincon hill)

Side thing but am I the only New Yorker who feels like Hudson Square is a made up neighborhood? I don’t think it existed a decade ago. Anyway, welcome to the hood! @modal is just a couple of blocks away https://twitter.com/shaig/status/2074852713200800095
