Here’s a fun one. A reader bought an old postcard of her block in Lefferts Manor (Maple Street between Bedford and Rogers) on eBay recently and sent it to Zach Van Schouwen, the guy who takes creates modern-day replicas of old Brooklyn photos at his website Re-Brooklyn. Evidently they had yet to invent people who block bike lanes with their pick-up trucks back then. Check out a larger version of the postcard, estimate to be from around 1920, here.
