I'm off to New York for the extended weekend. We're gonna tool around Brooklyn, visit my cousin's new house in Park Slope, and go by my Aunt's old brownstone in Flatbush. It's been a long time since I've been in Brooklyn, since my Aunt passed away.

When we were kids we'd drive down the Belt Parkway to her house, and there was a sigh that said "Welcome to Flatbush". It was the same sign they showed at the beginning of Welcome Back Kotter, and my brother would always point it out. I wonder if it's still there?
