Evening In Brooklyn

The former home of the Brooklyn Dodgers lives on! Some of my loved ones still live there Brooklyn has some things going for it Such as the great Brooklyn Museum and the Botanical Gardens Coney Island is unique And the borough has the Brooklyn Cyclones team and the Brooklyn Nets basketball team Famous people have called the place home millions of many different backgrouds who now call the borough home There has been strife there but the future looks sunny for those whose eyes, minds and hearts experience the ambiance of the place Brooklyn faces the futue with great anticipation

Enjoyed the highlights of Brooklyn, Matthew--sounds like you have a good time there--some places always buzz.

I now live in Manhattan, Vijay. It is a good place to live, too. New York City has great cultural resources - theater, poetry readings, music, of all kinds. But there are those in Manhattan who put down Brooklyn, foolishly. New York city is worth visiting if you get the chance. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Yes, Sandra come and visit NYC by all means. There are some rotten New Yorkers and some great NYers. One stranger here saved my life! I have had a number of poems in the NY Times!! Do you ever read that? Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Do you mean cleaning up after the holiday. I took the train to my sister's place where we had a veritable feast! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
