By the middle of the 19th century, many of the wealthy had continued to move further northward to the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side. [116] :10 Some wealthy families remained, and one observer noted in the 1880s that these families "look[ed] down with disdain upon the parvenus of Fifth avenue." [117] In general, though, the wealthy population of the neighborhood started to decline as many moved northward. Immigrants from modern-day Ireland, Germany, and Austria moved into the neighborhood. [115] In 2008, nearly the entire Alphabet City area was "downzoned" as part of an effort led by local community groups including GVSHP, the local community board, and local elected officials. [189] In most parts of Alphabet City, the rezoning requires that new development occur in harmony with the low-rise character of the area.

The wordplay spilled over into Alphabet St.’s video. Initially choosing not to record promo clips for an album he hoped listeners would experience as “a mind trip, like a psychedelic movie” (an Alphabet St. remix would, fittingly, be subtitled This Is Not Music, This Is A Trip), Prince had a change of heart on a snowy Sunday in late March 1988, just a few weeks ahead of Alphabet St.’s release as a single. Assembling a local cable-TV crew for a shoot at Paisley Park, he danced and mimed singing and playing the song in front of a green screen. In post-production, Prince scattered an alphabet soup’s worth of letters throughout the clip, at one point making it look as though he’d crashed his Thunderbird into an assortment sent bouncing off the car’s windshield.

Loisaida / ˌ l oʊ . iː ˈ s aɪ d ə/ is a term derived from the Spanish (and especially Nuyorican) pronunciation of " Lower East Side".

There is disagreement about the earliest uses of the name. It is often characterized as a marketing invention of realtors and other gentrifiers who arrived in the 1980s. [6] [7] However, sociologist Christopher Mele connects the term to the arts scene of the late 1970s which in turn attracted real estate investors. [8] As such, argues Mele, Alphabet City and its many variants—Alphaville, [9] Alphabetland, [10] etc.—were "playful" but also "concealed the area's rampant physical and social decline and downplayed the area’s Latino identity." [8] Pete Hamill, a longtime New York City journalist, cites darker origins. NYPD officers, he claims, referred to the most degraded areas east of Avenue B as Alphabet City in the 1950s. [11]The B-side is a remix of "Alphabet St." called " Alphabet St. ("This is not music, this is a trip")". The title and other phrases are repeated at the beginning of the song, but essentially it is an instrumental with a few minor changes. "Alphabet St." was the first Prince single released as a CD, albeit only in the UK and Japan. A promo CD was issued in the US. In Marvel Comics, Alphabet City is home to District X, also known as Mutant Town, a ghetto primarily populated by mutants. The ghetto was identified as being inside Alphabet City in New X-Men #127. It was described in District X as having the 'highest unemployment rate in the USA, the highest rate of illiteracy and the highest severe overcrowding outside of Los Angeles'. (These figures would suggest a large population.) It was destroyed in X-Factor #34. Congregation Beth Hamedrash Hagadol Anshe Ungarin" (PDF). New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
