Map pokes fun at post-Sandy NYC with new 'South of Power' neighborhood

11/3/2012

New York has a hot new neighborhood: SoPo, short for "South of Power." This charming doodle by an anonymous meme-maker mocks New York’s coining of new names for hip areas that juice the real estate market. Forget TriBeCa ("Triangle Below Canal") or NoLiTa ("North of Little Italy"). In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, SoPo is the perfect place to be a New Yorker. You’ll be dark, gritty and thin, because there’s no light, no utilities and no food. So move in now, because when the power comes on, you want the right to say: "I was here before the electricity ruined it." [Source]
