Posted by Jan K. Lorenzen on Wed Jul 25 20:32:42 2007, in response to Downtown Brooklyn/Fort Greene Re: Brooklyn Dodgers (on topic), posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Jul 25 14:11:42 2007. oooh, my old stompin' grounds.That Citgo in the last pic (actually its Myrtle and Classon) used to have this great old cast cement kid with the tire and candlestick advert from the 30's on its roof until about 5 years ago. Look west three more blocks and that is where the Lex Ave. El took its 90 degree turn down Grand. There's a photo in Pirrman's site of the Vanderbilt Ave stop on the Myrt showing the Emigrant bank building from the station platform. Myrtle and Waverly is where Adami Hardware was (now its another chain bank, Augusto bought the hdwr store and moved it across the street), before Adami it was a Bohack. Big changes. Now if Tish James can stop the mega-condos from taking over more than they have already... In the 80's, I'd worry about getting shot up in broad daylight, now I can't afford to live there. Now I live in wonderful Williamsburg! |
