Our trip back to Brooklyn
November 1999
We traveled across the Throggs Neck
Bridge to visit the site of my Mom & Dad's first home in Brooklyn. This
is the house in which I grew up on Greenwood Avenue. Pop, Tricia, Casey
and me visited the old neighborhood in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn.
Everything seemed so much smaller than I remember...and Prospect Park so
much closer. The Brooks family on the corner, crazy Mrs. Hamm yelling at
everyone as they passed, skating on a frozen patio next door...Prenner's
Grocery Store is gone now, but I can still remember straining just to
see in the display case of the deli. Somehow, I don't remember it ever
being this bleak.
