The rest of the story.

I have a feeling my granddaughter and her boyfriend are really in love. They seem to be in that special private bubble, doing the everyday things but all the things seem special. It makes me smile inside. Oh yes! I remember it well!

I would like to connect with people who may live near or on DeKalb Avenue, in Brooklyn, between Evergreen and Bushwick Aves. What is it like? I grew up there. My memories are an old fashioned tintype. There were trolley cars, a long, high brick wall, and a beautiful old building at Bushwick, the library.
I have no pictures. Perhaps I should keep it in my mind's eye.

I found two web sites that might answer your question about current photos of the area you describe:

First check out this person's blog (it's another blog on the same network you are on):
bed stuy banana blog

Then try this map:

and this blog, I think, is all about the area?

Did you want modern or older pictures?

Love Angela
