And hasn’t been so for 50+ years. It’s one of the parts of Brooklyn that is too Far East to have been gentrified by plain vanilla white people in the way that Bushwick, Williamsburg, and Fort Greene have.

“Oh, give me the moon over Brooklyn
And let me dream a dream or two...
Perambulatin’ with Maisie
Down Flatbush Avenooo.”
