I wonder where TL-18 was? I worked in TL-18 from 1977 till my promotion in 1984, so I know the area. I believe that L-18 would normally y be 2nd due on the box. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired

relocators at that time of the morning for L3F, 9, 11 & 20 assigned on All Hands - so L18 was somewhere else
 
Question for the 28/11 15/18 guys.

When what streets are considered "Alphabet City" and not "East Village"

Just like when is it considered "Greenwich Village" and not "West Village"
 
All can say is that our tee shirts in (about) 1980 said "lower east side brick farm". And most of the vacants were above Houston St. Another had a picture of an ers box with the saying..."Box 415....check it out"... (That was Gary's favorite...lol.). And to the locals it was always Losaida. Smokeater is correct though...the further east you went the worse it got. A rose by any other name...lol.

Easy. Ave A through D up to 13th street is Alphabet City - although those who worked down there generally didn’t consider anything West of Ave C Alphabet City - due to the draconian insinuation of Alphabet City and more fire duty compared to the East Village.

Here’s an easy way of looking at it:

28/11 is located in Alphabet City (first due to everything East of Ave B)

33/9 is the East Village

15/18 is The Lower East Side
