Hmm… so I have been there a bunch of times and never noticed it. Odd.
I meant to say Manhattan Beach, it’s pretty close to Brighton too though…
It’s the Holocaust memorial on the border of Sheepshead Bay and Brighton Beach. This area of Brooklyn has the highest concentration of Holocaust survivors in the world. The body of water you see in the background is Sheepshead Bay.
Where is this statue in the picture? Have I seen it a million times and just never actually noticed it? Or is it somewhere I’ve never been?
That’s OK Dave, I don’t care about what happens south of Flushing Avenue…
I’ll meet you in the OT for a showdown, dh.
DIBS sucks
LMAO, Dave.
I just didn’t care, WBer.
