The media has used a variety of adjectives to characterize Kensington, some of them not too flattering. Now, in an article about the upcoming
subway service changes,
the New York Post describes the neighborhood as "tony" (marked by an elegant or exclusive manner or quality):
Straphangers in three tony Brooklyn neighborhoods are about to get derailed -- again.
Service cuts along the F line are slated for Park Slope, Windsor Terrace and Kensington starting this weekend -- and will last at least through the year.
The changes -- to make way for construction at the Smith-Ninth Street stop, the highest elevated station in the city -- come after the line has already gone through a series of shutdowns for several weekends in 2010. The $179 million project involves work on signals and switches, along with renovations that could eventually make way for a long-awaited F express.
Riders won't have service from Church Avenue to Jay Street this weekend.
Then, beginning at 5 a.m. Monday and lasting through May, there will be no Manhattan-bound F or Queens-bound G at the 15th Street-Prospect Park and the Fort Hamilton Parkway stops.
