Coney Island, Brooklyn Bridge, The Dodgers ("Dem Bums"), egg creams and the rest . . . Brooklyn: it's always changing, yes, but I think there's something essential here that will always remain. It's like sports, and America itself: always different but always the same. <BR/><BR/>Adam E.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753505534756028908.post-19127442518503501052008-06-24T14:06:00.000-04:002008-06-24T14:06:00.000-04:00Interesting Pics.

Boy has it all changed, I'm not sure whether to cry or just say "times have changed". The saddest were the pictures you posted of the Kings Theatre. I have very fond memories of going there with my grandparents. It was a fabulously beautiful theatre inside. To see it now, is very sad. I also attended Erasmus High School, glad to see at least that looks the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
