I took this picture, I think, in February of 1960. It broke my
heart. The sign says it all: Next Game - Dodgers vs. ...
. No more next game ever, in Brooklyn.

This was the intersection of Flatbush Avenue, Hanson Place and
Ashland Avenue in the Fort Greene section. This was in 1927,
just before the Williamsburgh Savings Bank building was
constructed on that corner, and where it still stands today.
Further back on Hanson Place you can see the Central United
Methodist Church, which is also still there. To the right, out
of view, would later be the Atlantic Terminal building.

This was the Brooklyn Fox Theater in 1970, just before it was
demolished. I saw Murry the K and his rock n roll shows there
in the fifties.

The fabulous rococo interior of the Fox Theater. It speaks for
itself. There's nothing like it anywhere anymore.

This was Front Street at Camden Plaza under the Brooklyn Bridge,
the very last time I visited Brooklyn in 1982.

This was the Cyclone in Coney Island on the corner of Surf Avenue
and 10th Street. I believe the year was 1957.

After a blizzard in 1960, this was boerum Hill at the corner of
Flatbush Avenue and Schermerhorn Street in the heart of what would
become "downtown" Brooklyn and the site of the Barclays Center
over fifty years later.
