moved to N4 a couple years back and love the place. always wanting to know more about the area and what it has to offer I found this sight.
And here I am!
The 3 biggest changes in that time? Well, way back then you couldn't get a pizza round here - or maybe you could but there wasn't a pizzeria. You could go to a real bank, even two (one was a Barclays but I forget what the other was). And there was a library!
Have lived just off Hanley Road for a couple of years.
Found this forum whilst trying to find out Met Police statistics on the area, as I see a lot of angry looking men around, and am trying to make myself feel less intimidated walking around. Ironic then that my username has the word 'bullet' in it, but it's from an old poker site (Bullets=Aces) username I keep reusing for new sites.
Nice to see friendly types on the forum. Big fan.
Neurotically think the world is going to the dogs unless 'nice' people make up for it on forums such as this...

I've been in the area for just over a year, love it a lot!
I've been following this forum for a while, thought I ought to introduce myself.
I happen to work at one of the Stroud green pubs (And live there) I shall let you ponder on which one as it's far too enjoyable to anonymously spy on all your opinions.
Keep up the good restaurant recommendations, Stroud green road has given me many a good meal.
Looking forward to learning from and contributing to this interesting and active site.
My name is Tora and i've recently moved to N4 from Hackney having been N4 curious for a while but unsure about leaving Hackers at the same time...
Always interested in/contributing in what happens locally and what others have to say. Maybe i'm just nosey?
Oh and I have cat. People seem interested in knowing this fact it would appear!
Secondly, I'd like to put a shout out to all current and new N4 Transitioners. If you don't already know who they are take a look at the following link, and get involved too. Just like StoudGreen Org it's a worthwhile investment of your time:

I'm not exactly new to the area, it's been about 10 years now, firstly Regina road for a few years, then Tollington Park and now Clifton Terrace - not sure if any of those count as Stroud Green, technically?! Anyway, I don't have any pets whatsoever and I've seen various random celebs in the area in the last 10 years but mainly the same as everyone else - Minty from Eastenders, Ann-Marie Duff and James McAvoy, that annoying 'American' girl from Eastenders, one of the McGann brothers (can't remember which!) and someone who used to be in 'Queer as Folk'. Love the site and I'm looking forward to keeping up with the local gossip!
As dyspraxic [ MA level; 2003] mature Visual Arts student / retired do everything back to front. It is technical/numerical dyslexia involving sequencing & location & coordination , which is alright for art work but causes some organisations such as call centres concern as a loose canon & don't like being discriminated against or finding system undemocratic & I have no voice. So I stands up to be counted as very ethical .My art work concerns age and identity & how one is viewed by system as one ages "I am rapidly becoming a spectre' Roland Barthes and work links to Impressionism , abstraction & early moving image /animation . The videos are on utube9773165 but it must be one of biggest sites as grew up with The Stone,Long john, Rod, Elton, Eric as the local band - Eel Pie island.Video hadn't happened so went mad when found utube.
Just joined st.org - so hoping to do some local communing
yeah

Although I live in Herne Hill, I spend a lot of time in SG as my girlfriend lives here, I've made some good friends here and love being (an albeit part-time) member of the community here.
This website always seems to be a great read!
