Business Insider published a great set of photos taken by photographer Danny Lyon in Brooklyn during the summer of 1974. The one above shows an apartment house across from Fort Greene Park.

Now, tell us how electricity works, Dr. Science!
Those were some crazy times.
.things have not changed that much.
The Bushwick Theater looked a lot better then than it does now and no one would burn down a rowhouse today just to est wire insulation but other than that, its the same old boro captured in ancient Kodachrome.
The thing I love best about the summer is that you can hear the kids playing in the street. Reminds me of my childhood neighborhood.
It’s a little farfetched to assume kids are raising themselves just because you see them playing unsupervised in the street. You don’t know if someone is watching, just not easily in view. I love that on my street we have kids playing all the time in the summer and everyone watches out for them.
