Shirleen Allicot revisits life growing up straddling Queens and Brooklyn

Kick-off this school year on a trip down memory lane with Shirleen Allicot! Did you know Shirleen is from both Brooklyn and Queens? She's one of the few who can make that official claim since she literally grew up smack-dab in the middle of Ozone Park and East New York. She even had two addresses!

What a beautiful women, born in Manhattan but raised on the boarder of Brooklyn (Bushwick) and Queens (Ridgewood). People drive crazy not understanding this.

[@licialee283]

That’s me too! When I went to college in a different part of Queens everyone would be like where you from and when I would say Ridgewood they would say oh where’s Ridgewood? And then I had to say right near Bushwick and they magically got it

Wow! I LOVED THAT STORY! so proud of you and being from the same exact neighborhood as me. I live on top of Rainbow which used to be a bike shop. I didn't go to that school. I went to I.S. 302. I wonder if we ever ran into eachother on cityline. I am So happy you are successful and incorporated alot of the cultural cuisine from your childhood. Stay blessed.

Same here,she was so nice and professional 👑

[@kennys.2827]

Wow, Inspiring! especially her last sentence. My parents are from the same background, I'm from the same neighborhood, grew up in both queens & Brooklyn. My family's business was a block away from where she shot this video.... Ozone Park was and is a great neighborhood.

[@hectornegron9155]

Beautiful and very professional lady. Btw, I just learned (day before yesterday) why Ken Rosato had been fired from ABC. I would've thought he had left for a better job.

[@drrrobinson90]

Representation Matters! I live around the same area! I always admired her as a news anchor!

[@gustavfarley1983]

Omg .. Cityline!!! I used to tell people I lived on the qns/bk border and they always thought I meant ridgewood 🫢🙄😜🤣.. so annoying lol…

[@kennethkearns2091]

I was a new District Manager for a Community Board in the Bronx and Ms. Allicot was with News 12, The Bronx and she interviewed me. This was the first time I was interviewed for TV. She was kind and engaging. She received her story and she was utterly professional.. She has tremendous people skills. It was a pleasure speaking with her. I wish all journalists could exhibit these skills.

[@byronlloydwilliams7662]

Nice beautiful face I'm just joking with her cause she pretty OK

[@msamarteifioa6593]

How come she don't say where she from??? Or did I miss it?
