I was in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn not too long ago, and I can tell you that the Brooklyn accent is still very much alive and thriving.

... albeit with a touch of Russian.

Bay Ridge won't lose the Brooklyn accent in 1000 years, no matter how many yuppies gentrify the place with converted warehouse lofts.

As long as the Trustafarians don't invade southern Brooklyn, we should be OK.

Williamsburg should get hit with a daisy cutter.
