Brooklyn: The Way It Was Reviews
-
Some of the history of each area in Brooklyn was a bit dry, of course, it’s nearly 400 years of history being described.
The photos from the last 100 plus years were all fascinating. I could occasionally see buildings that I know, that still exist. -
There are many special places in the world, Ticinderoga,NY is one Brooklyn is another. If you want to take a peak at where some of the movers and shakers of the 20th century came from, read this book! Dare I mention the 1955 Dodgers?
And the Coney Island Hot Dog? fvp
