Readers Report
My Brooklyn was 267 Woodbine St. I went to I.S. 291 and I.S. 383 and P.S. 116. I miss it at times. If you have any pictures of this area can you sent me one?

Can anyone help? Photos of Brooklyn—especially those which provide vignettes
of Brooklyn lives past and present—are always welcome. DNM
New Utrecht High School personifies the Brooklyn I remember. The mix of Italian and Jewish teenagers and the ability to get along well and understand each other's cultures while maintaining our own identities. The school spirit and the closeness of faculty and students is something that does not exist today.
I would love to hear from other New Utrechtites of the early to mid 60s and wonder if there is an internet site that one could visit to get updates on whereabouts.

I grew up on E. 19th St. and Ave. Y across from P.S. 254. The memories of peanuts from Prospect Park, the Dodgers, Coney Island and Mrs. Stahl's Knishes, in Manhattan Beach. I am now living in Jacksonville, Fl. and the memories evoked from reading other Brooklyn stories made my day.

I lived on Union from about '65 till '79. I remember the hole in the ground with the big plywood fence around it, where the Dodgers once played. My grandmother's apartment across from the playground at the south end of the park and the great eggcreams around the corner from there...
I remember walking along Eastern Pkwy. without fear, even at night. I remember the BBG, Prospect Park and the Museum and the Plaza and Library. I remember first noticing the trolly barn on Nostrand when one day the doors were opened... Soon THAT was a hole in the ground, then an apartment building. I remember the apartments on Union being gutted one by one...
24 November 1995
My Brooklyn is a 90 degree summer day, on the footpath that parallels the Belt Parkway, looking at the Verrazano Bridge from the 69th Street Pier.
