East Flatbush : ウィキペディア英語版
East Flatbush, Brooklyn
East Flatbush is a residential neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. The area is part of Brooklyn Community Board 17〔(Brooklyn Community Boards ), New York City. Accessed December 31, 2007.〕 East Flatbush is patrolled by the NYPD's 67th〔(67th Precinct ), NYPD.〕 Precinct.
==Description==

As with many neighborhoods in Brooklyn, the borders of East Flatbush are subjective, but its northern border is roughly at Empire Boulevard and East New York Avenue east of East 91st Street, its southern border is in the vicinity of the Long Island Rail Road Bay Ridge Branch, its eastern border is roughly at East 98th Street and its western border is Nostrand Avenue as per all historic maps.
In summer 2006, the New York City Department of Transportation co-named a portion of Church Avenue from Remsen Avenue to East 98th Street in East Flatbush as "Bob Marley Boulevard".〔Mooney, Jake. ("Drum Roll for a Sign With a Reggae Beat" ), ''The New York Times'', May 21, 2006. Accessed October 11, 2007. "On May 10, the City Council approved a plan to hang Bob Marley Boulevard signs beneath the Church Avenue ones along an eight-block section, from Remsen Avenue to East 98th Street."〕〔(Brooklyn Street Renamed Bob Marley Boulevard ), NY1. Accessed October 11, 2007.〕
East Flatbush is the home of the former General George W. Wingate High School and Gov. Samuel J. Tilden High School. It is also home to three major hospitals, Kings County Hospital, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, and Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center. The former Congregation Beth Israel, now known as Mt. Zion Church of God 7th Day, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
East Flatbush generally is very similar in nature to neighboring Flatbush; so much so that some consider the two neighborhoods to be the same community. Both are predominantly West Indian and working class. The one slight difference is that Flatbush has a higher percentage of White and Asian residents than East Flatbush. While the demographics are similar, East Flatbush does not have as much access to the New York City Subway as Flatbush. The BMT Brighton Line () and the IRT Nostrand Avenue Line () both have stations located in Flatbush, but the latter only skirts the borders of East Flatbush. Many East Flatbush residents take a train and a bus to commute to and from work.
While crime generally had always been a problem in the community (e.g., a number of stores on Flatbush, East Flatbush and Church Avenues were looted during the New York City blackout of 1977), a drug epidemic ravaged East Flatbush during the 1980s and early 1990s, mainly in Vandeveer Estates Apartments 1952-2005 now known as Flatbush Gardens 2005–present was never own by New York City Housing Authority properties. Residents nicknamed the intersection of Foster and Nostrand avenues "the Front Page" because the drug murders there often ended up on the front pages of local papers. The area to the south they called "the Back Page" the intersection of Foster between New York & Brooklyn avenues because its many murders went unnoticed. The area around the Nostrand playground had various gangs : Crips, Jamaicans, Haitians, Trinidadians and Grenadians, particularly notorious for drug turf wars, shootouts, and pitbull fights.
