Yeah, I forgot all about Chicago, kind of a blend of the left and east coast corruption. Brooklyn N.Y. I used to love that place. My brother-in-law was from the Bensonhurst section which was mostly Italian back then. Mostly Ukrainian now I understand. Some great seafood places in Sheepshead Bay, don’t know if they’re still there.
Haven’t been back to Brooklyn in a while. I was born in the Ridgewood/Bushwick area (back then, Ridgewood was still part of Brooklyn). After the Bed/Sty riots of the 60s, the homeowners in Ridgewood petitioned the post office to change their location to Queens. I remember as a kid Dad packing us into the car to go see them building the brand new Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge - yeah, I’m that old, LOL.
