You live in a great neighborhood. Cobble Hill is one of the most in demand places to live in Brooklyn. Some people like a more urban setting and others more rural. You can be happy in many different types of environments.

Thank you so much BW. I sent it  to my daughter. A portion of the video shows Congress street park. The small row houses shown were actually carriage houses for the transportation use of the wealthy families who lived in the brownstone residences opposite them. The park is the result of those homes being demolished to make way for a multi family high rise apartment building project that was supposed to be built there. It was delayed, then stopped.The park was the positive legacy. The carriage houses were converted to cottage residences. The pine trees lined up against the fence were post holiday waiting for recycling. The snow gives even the harshest urban setting a touch of beauty. I pray my grandchildren will not need a dated half century video to see it. Thank you again, BW. As always ….

I love that name Cobble Hill.  I wonder if one can ski down this hill in the winter after a nice snowstorm? ;)

 

Only one cobble stone street remains; Tiffany Place. The hill potion was probably more pronounced 170+ years ago, before residences started replacing the farmlands.  As always…..
