"Lords of Flatbush" was a very entertaining movie.
Avenue J was never a really tough neighborhood. But, further down on Coney Island Avenue, you could get into some scary situations.

I made nostalgic visits to my old neighborhoods in Brownsville and East New York in '97, '98 and 2000. Some of the areas looked like East Berlin after WWII.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
