Yea, I guess it depends on where in BK

maybe because it wasn't until recent decades?

Just a few years ago, Dumbo were just a bunch of abandoned warehouses, crazy how much money capital can influence an area

depends on neighborhood, aka how gentrified the area is.

Did you think how much NY would change in a year due to the current Corona Virus crisis? My hubby is from Brooklyn but haven't been back in more than 30 years. I was able to take him back home with this video, while sitting at home. To see his expression of happiness and hear his stories is priceless. Thank you! You did an awesome job by the way😊

Brooklyn is better post corona. Manhattan is a hell hole. Why did you drag your husband out of the best city on earth

[@3hooks781]

53:47 Fruit streets are Cranberry, Pineapple and Orange streets, thus giving the sitting area its name. You likely missed the other two. My favorite neighborhood in Brooklyn, hands down. After a few years away, I am finally a resident again. Thanks for taking the time to share this beauty with the world.

[@chip94301]

Also Willow St. One story is that the wealthy Miss Middagh, annoyed by rich neighbors naming their streets, substituted generic fruits and trees. See: streeteasy.com/blog/brooklyn-heights-fruit-streets-named-cranberry-pineapple-orange. I rented a room there as a poor Bklyn Polytech student.

Thanks alot buddy. I've been born and Breed in Brooklyn. Moved out of state with other family when I was 20. My whole life is in that city still. I can't express my gratitude for people like you who give me a good throwback on memory lane

[@jarthuroriginal]

Have walked the same paths many times with my granddaughters, true children of Brooklyn. So many precious memories. Wife and I have also walked many paths walked by the narrator. A little concerned about prospects for the promenade. The playground by Pierrepont is loaded with memories for me.
