The robbery took place on Friday around 11am in the Crown Heights neighborhood near 1436 Sterling Place. The block is lined with residential homes.

I grew up not too far from Crown Heights in Brooklyn. Back then (the 50s) it was a nice, lower-middle class area, kind of like Ralph Kramden's in "The Honeymooners". Nowadays, I'd stay away from it. Sad to see what's become of my childhood borough.

There’s a holdup in the Bronx!
Brooklyn’s broken out in fights!
There’s a traffic jam in Harlem that’s backed up to Jackson Heights!
There’s a scout troop short a child!
Krushchev’s due at Idlewild!

Car 54, where are you?

I lived nearby too, until age 8. Moved to L.I. 70 years ago. It was very safe back then. My mother used to go out and walk every night.
