MaHi (Marble Hill)

"MaHi" is "Marble Hill." You already know, of course, that "Washington Height and Inwood" is "WaHI." At the "WaHI" web site, "MaHi" has been flourishing recently. People are suggesting "WaHI-MaHi."

I don't make this stuff up.

P.S. Now that we all agree that Northern Manhattan consists of Washington Heights, Inwood and Marble Hill, may I suggest a new "acronym"?
WaHI MaHi!
