I grew up in Park Slope. I went to John Jay High School on 7th. Avenue. You forgot to mention (or maybe didn't know) that inside Prospect Park there's a Quaker cemetery and buried in that cemetery is the famous Hollywood actor...Montgomery Clifford. You know...Private Pruitt in "From Here To Eternity'.

Born at Methodist hospital and lived across the street from the old stone house, 339 3rd street 1st floor. Back in 1974 when I was a little itty boy I would enter that old stone house because it had no doors or windows and I would hand food to the few homeless people who would sleep in there. The place reeked of homelessness and urine but my Mom would be there making sure I wouldn't get hurt. Also the Brooklyn Dodgers back then were called the Trolley Dodgers, avoiding the trolley's that ran along 4th & 5th ave. I think Tom missed a gem .... if you just walk a block over to 2nd st and 3rd ave, parts of the existing wall still stands of the old original stadium. O' n by the way they won many "World Series" back then against team from up and down the East coast.

My family lived on 14th St between 8th Ave and Prospect Park West for over 40 years. My mom is a Baby-Boomer who grew up in the era when it was a blue collar enclave. The old guard has nearly evaporated. I'm back now in NY for the first time in 13 years and am stoked to hit the Slope again for nostalgia. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I used to visit in the 80's and 90's pre Yupster 2.0 boom, what a difference! The block parties were the evidence of that. I got snubbed by some of the new families on the block post 2004 but we were all getting along just fine when I was a kid up through the late 90's. Connecticut Muffin in Bartel Pritchard Square used to be this great classic diner owned by my friend's dad. Shout out if you remember that and Circles Pizzeria next to the movie theater!

I grew up in Park Slope- born there. Call me an OG. I never understood how these structures were built so long ago with no tech or heavy machinery. please consider the facts. In the 1800's there were only horses, carts and dirt roads right?? So how do building and large elaborate structures like these in NYC and those that are all over this world get built with horse and buggy and no heavy equipment? Our history is fabricated and many of us are doing the research to uncover just what really was going on here. there are many KZitem channels that have been here for years trying to open eyes and minds....It is our birthright to know our real history since none of us were actually there to witness any of these structures being built. So many things that have been kept from us. Whoever and however these building and structures were created so long ago and with such beauty in the details, had to be a superior race with talents and abilities that don't exist today.
