    Nice—I would like some more info, like what part of Brooklyn she grew up in—a litle annoyed by her final comment—kind of a put down of the people who now live in “It”. Many reasons for the decline of (I assume)of the Jewish Brooklyn of the late forties and fifties—perhaps she should look at it more dimensionally.

    you could sleep in coney tonight if the cops didn’t bother you.

    this lady grew up back in the old days, when there was still some freedom in the air.
