      BROOKLYN BROOKLYN, OH BROOKLYN From the Verrazano to the Brooklyn Bridge Through the Ridge and up the Slope Diverse personalities in every nook Streets of Brooklyn are “off the hook” From Coney Island to the Navy Yard Local churches, restaurants and museums Amazing all people from every scene, So enticing on the movie screens…

  • The good with the bad
