My neighborhood (the Rivierenbuurt, or "river district") is where Anne Frank's family lived until they went into hiding. Its name comes from the fact that many streets are named after Dutch rivers (like my street, named after the Schelde). It was developed between WWI and WWII (so quite modern & chic at the time) and was primarily a Jewish neighborhood (still is).
Parenthetically yours,

That's interesting...my neighborhood is mostly red neck. Sometimes I feel like I should have a secret attic room.
