Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Jul 25 14:11:42 2007, in response to Re: Brooklyn Dodgers (on topic), posted by E Line Fan on Wed Jul 25 12:43:22 2007. was just there today...I was in Brooklyn early this morning anyway on business, and I wanted to stop at the Brooklyn Historical Society's "Up from flames" exhibit which is on until the end of August. It charts the fall and rebirth of Bushwick from 1977 to 2007. Unfortunately, it's complete chaos there on in Downtown Brooklyn, and there was no place to park near Pierrepont St where the exhibit is. I will have to go back and park somewhere else, and take the subway there next time..... It's worse than Manhattan down there! Although I must say it's quite beautiful, I was SO impressed as I drove down Myrtle Ave....it's almost a showpiece down there now.... I hadn't been down Myrtle in about a year or two, and wow has it changed. Clinton Hill and Fort Greene are really coming around. If my grandfather could only see it....Forte Greene was a slum when he lived there in the 1930's....I almost hate to say it, but I dunno if it could have looked as beautiful along Myrtle as it is now if the el was still there.... Here's some photos of Myrtle along my drive down to downtown today... Myrtle and Waverly:  Myrtle and Clinton:  Myrtle Near Vanderbilt:  |
