Think of the creampuffs / That have passed through these same doors / All of them scrumptious #haiku
I lived at 881 Washington Ave (Carroll St) across from Botanic Gardens, Clara Barton (H.S. for Homemaking) and PS 241. What a place to grow up – deadend street to play in plus three school yards (including Prospect Hgts), the parks, the library and Bklyn Museum hill for sledding. And, you could eat your way up and down Frankin Ave: Geisers, Twin L, Ben & Sol, Normandie Bakery (charlotte russe, black & white cookies), Rae’s, Garcia Vega, Radin’s (Zsa Zsa’s favorite)… rick: 20th Nov 2007 – 20:52 GMT

Old Beale Street is coming down
Sweeties’ Snack Bar, boarded up now
And Egles The Tailor and the Shine Boy’s gone
Faded out with ragtime blues
Handy’s cast in bronze
And he’s standing in a little park
With a trumpet in his hand
Like he’s listening back to the good old bands
And the click of high heeled shoes
Old Furry sings the blues
-Furry Sings the Blues, Hejira (1976) Joni Mitchell
