Brooklyn Heights Blog has a recent post about “You Must be from Brooklyn Heights If…” items. The list was originally complied by the Brooklyn Heights Facebook group.
Some examples are:
—If you know where Ho-Bags is
—If you’ve played suicide or handball in Love Lane
—If you can pronounce Montague, Joralemon, or Schermerhorn Street

Can you think of anything that needs to be added to the list?

    “…If you never, ever leave the Heights except to go to Manhattan.”

    … except to go to Newport…

    Or, your brother, in eleventh grade, got kicked in the head by a ‘dancer’ at Wildfire.

  2. –You’ve shopped on Pineapple Walk
    –You’ve eaten Sunday breakfast at the counter of Clarks
    –You remember the Heights Cinema theater when they
    never mopped the floors; wait, do they mop the floors
    now?
    –You yearn for the return of Bagel lady
    –You cursed the goddamn elevators going to the subway at
    Clark Street “They can test the dirt on Mars and they
    can’t fix this freaking thing!!!”
    –You know enough never to walk up the staircase from the
    platform to the street at Clark Street.
    –You know how to make Jehovah Witnesses go away without
    saying anything.
    –You know that Noodle Pudding is a dynamite Italian
    restaurant.

  3. You know the difference between Willow Street and Willow Place.

    You know which entrance to the Promenade has the ice cream truck.

    You (probably) are old enough to have visited the legendary swimming pool in the St. George Hotel.

    You get very excited about church fairs. (Okay, I don’t live there and I do–see some of you at the Grace Church Winter Fair.)
