Stroud Green Village

kreuzkav

All this village stuff has got me thinking.  Back in the 60s in NYC Bob Dylan and other folk singers made a name for themselves in Greenwich Village.  Here's a bit on the etymology of the area<div><br></div><div>http://untappedcities.com/2013/06/20/history-of-nyc-streets-the-crooked-past-of-greenwich-villages-two-minettas/</div><div><br></div><div>But village now brings up images of very organised commerce.  Surely the great thing about this area is its free flowing non-brand vibe.  And it worked for decades.  Perhaps in today's world it's no longer a working model and it's time for these 'village' groupings.  </div><div><br></div><div>The question I'll ask you all is if Stroud Green is renamed Stroud Green Village, does that make us 'village people'?</div>

Village people sounds great. Arkady looks good in a hard hat. We can maybe rename the website. Stroudgreenvillage.org or Stroud green.Village
