the 2007 dustoff recap

[Marlin 275]

If you want to learn how to speak Brooklynese..come see me..Born and raised and still have my accent..I refuse to ever let it go! lol

I lived in Brooklyn for 24 years.
I still have a condo there and go back every now and then to fix it up.
Best area in the city !

I moved there from Florida to go to Pratt Institute.
So no Brooklyn accent but plenty of Brooklyn attitude !

My condo that I lived in for ten years is at third avenue and Pacific Street 1 block from the LIRR Atlantic terminal on Flatbush.

The New Jersey Nets are moving back there in a new arena now under construction.

Brooklyn is the greatest !

We moved up to the burds cause the schools were so bad for the kids.
I get back to Brooklyn few times a year.
They are building residential housing everywhere.
Things are changing rapidly.
Bedford Stuyvesant is a decent neighborhood now.
They're taking down the Pier warehouses and making the waterfront next to the Brooklyn Bridge a great multi use waterfront park.
May be if they put a marina in we can stop by in the Donzi?
Someday . . .
