I was raised in Flatbush

So was I!

A wonderful neighborhood, and the heart of Brooklyn, at one point in history.

You got that right!

I've been gone a good long while, but it had started changing even before I left. Sad.

I have ancestors from Brooklyn, back in the 1820s or so, when it was mostly Dutch. I have a couple of letters referring fondly to the old neighborhoods there.
