Legion sounds like an old redneck bigot from the south. Go on outside bigot and throw some more rocks at the kids in your yard. Maybe you can still make the KKK meeting tonight and burn some crosses in some gays and black people’s yards.

Thanks for the entreaty.
I’ve been coming back to Brownstoner all day to link with Corcoran’s Dean Street Web page.
Believe me, I’m tempted — especially by this house, which opened a floodgate of memories. (In the limestone next door, at the corner of New York and Pacific, lived a lady who was particularly generous Halloweens. My brother and I were sure to hit her apartment first thing every year!)
No doubt, if my parents left me a brownstone in Crown Heights and not their place in Manhattan, I’d be in the old neighborhood now. And if I didn’t live in three cities around the world, I’d snap up the house on Dean. As it is, Park Avenue’s just a pied-a-terre, and worry-free during my extended absences. (Building staff of 20; great security, etc.)
Houses like the one on Dean, as indicated in an earlier post, are for families. And New York Avenue, with its easy walk to Brower Park and the new Children’s Museum, should make this house even more appealing for parents with kids.
My advice to them: Grab it!

I think once you hit Jumboland the mortgages hit the fan. Just closed with a 4170000 mortgage, the max conforming, and did no-doc with a rate under 6%. The games are still there but only if you have the coin to keep the mortgage under 417 and put 20% down.
But the days of getting a 1 mil 80% mortgage and a 15% second at the same time are over. But you could never pull that sh** off in a co-op anyway.
Nostalgia on Park Slavenue:
Sell and move back to Brooklyn!…unless it just ain’t all that simply or easy.
Seems like you should come back.
I left P.A. and it was a relief. If you have kids in college, they may pout for a while that they can’t come home now and again and “see their friends” in the area but they’ll end up liking staying with you in a townhouse in PS.
If you don’t have kids at all, then why worry? Just sell now and get on over the bridge! Park Ave is kind of stultifying.
Please. Think about it. Sell in Manhattan now and then wait a little for prices to soften in PS, BH, FG or wherever.
Correction:
Where’s Nokilissa? She has been silent…I wonder if she bought the PH house or signed on the Schloss Connelly…I’ll just bet she and the family got the Prospect Place House! I can sense it!
Good for them if they did!

Where’s Nokilissa? She has been silent…I wonder if she bought this house or the Schloss Connelly or the more diminutive Schloss Prospect Place…I bet she and the family got the Prospect Place House!

Ugh, Legion. Blech. Go away. You are decidely ignorant of a number of issues.
The Supreme Court decision on the DC case specified that the arms were legal if KEPT in the HOME…not toted around town like in Texas or FL.
I didn’t know we had 3 major “American religions”…hhhh… And, while we’re on that topic. Many congregations are PRO-gay marriage. Hello. There are churches and synogogues that are basically “gay” anyway… Someday you’ll have to tell me what the 3 major American religions are.
Obama is NOT for running out of Iraq. Hhhh…
For many people they are “in a recession”. The poor are poorer and the “middle class” are poorer…there are more homeless people, hungry people…poverty in rural America is as astounding as it is in cities.
Legion, I’m giving you an assignment. Change your radio station to 99.5FM for two weeks and stop listening/watching just Sean, Rush and Michael during that time.
the houses on new york avenue are simply beautiful. this one one is no different. i love the way it wraps around the corner of dean and new york. it also has a 2 car garage which is rare in any neighborhood.
there is such history behind so many of the houses on new york avenue. take for instance the house labeled “the mansion”. it was onced owned by one of the original founders of the ny stock exchange. it was also a school for autistic children before changing hands, then left abandoned for 30yrs. a couple restored it and it is simply beautiful. i heard they may put it on the house tour this year.
it is next to a house where a jazz legend once lived as well.
signed…loving brooklyn!
Ocean Hill/ Bedford Stuyvesant boarder….. Ocean Hill is a subsection of Bedford-Stuyvesant in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Founded in 1890, the neighborhood is part of Brooklyn Community Board 3 and Brooklyn Community Board 16.[1] The ZIP code for the neighborhood is 11233. The neighborhood has a diverse community with a large number of African Americans, and a small number of Caribbean and Latin Americans.
Ocean Hill’s boundaries start from Broadway (Bushwick) in the north, Ralph Avenue (Bed-Stuy proper) to the west, East New York Avenue (Brownsville) in the south, and Van Sinderen Avenue (East New York) to the east.
Ocean Hill received its name in 1890 for being slightly hilly. Hence it was subdivided from the larger community of Stuyvesant Heights. From the beginning of the 20th century to the 1960s Ocean Hill was an Italian enclave. At that time the neighborhood had many well-kept homes and stores. By the late 1960s Ocean Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant proper together formed the largest African American community in the United States.
