Most people have no idea what Brooklyn really looks like -- knowing it only as a city of 3-story buildings with fire escapes. I was surprised when we moved there and saw so much more. Still, I couldn't live there again.Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-73139156271298894102014-07-03T18:57:08.925+02:002014-07-03T18:57:08.925+02:00Laurent:

We rode the F train into and back from Manhattan. From one of the bedrooms in that flat, you could see the top of the Empire State Building. Lots of amazing housing stock around there. It was over thirty years ago, so I expect some renovation has been done.wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-35376377486301702032014-06-22T01:05:00.912+02:002014-06-22T01:05:00.912+02:00Just a Post Script... the photos finally came thr...Just a Post Script... the photos finally came through... don't know what I expected but your photos aren't what I thought it would be.
