Oh man, I love Brooklyn. Each time I visit New York City, I like Brooklyn more and more. Not sure why, it might be a combination of the reputation, the culture and just so many nice looking buildings, and you can get great views of Manhattan. Maybe I'll move there someday, when I'm done with school. Now if only NYC wasn't so expensive...

What a wonderful set of pictures! I MUST get to New York sometime very soon! Maybe I should buy a tent, scrap my trip to Vermont and just get on my bike and go right now!

Use to live a block away 45st and 6th ave, rode my bike thru the park day and night, couldn't wait for the pool to open in May, I
miss that. One day I'd like to return to visit and to see what it looks like today.

I remember Sunset Park from the 50's and 60's I lived right down from the park. That's when It was a nice neighborhood you could walk the streets anytime and not worry about getting mugged. Everybody knew everyone even from another block. But there are nomore real neighborhoods anymore , now it's a zoo! want to make me cry, show me a picture of this once beautiful park and It's once beautiful neighborhood thats why all the real Brooklynites moved away familes that lived there for many years. "KEEP LETTING THEM IN" and they will ruin it all.

I lived in Sunset Park from 1962-1989 I moved to the midwest and I visit alot still have family there. I grew up going to sunset park and had a lot of great memories. The best part was going to the pool it was so big and cold. The neighborhood has changed wben I was living thier it was Irish, German and Scandinavian. My family was part of the Puerto Ricans that imigrated their along with other families my parents worked hard and had a house and we all did well. In spite of all the changes that took place Sunset park was a great place to live.I visit alot and I still love it. The food, the shopping on 5th Ave.
