Thanks to your web site (a kind of mitzvah), people here in Cincinnati now believe that Williamsburgh, Brooklyn is a real place rather than the creation of a would-be American Scholem Alechem. I stumbled across the site accidentally with shocked, but happy, surprise. I was born (1931) in Williamsburgh and grew up there (214 Keap St.). I also spent time in Canarsie, where the water was cleaner than at Brighton Beach, and the waves were gentler. There was a half-sized trolley line that took you from Fresh Pond Rd. on the BMT line to the beach. Just thought you might be interested in knowing that your messages reach the mid-west.
Born in Red Hook in 1034. Raised in Williamsburg on Bedford ave and s 10th st. Went to PS 16 on Wilson Ave. I was the Goy who took care of the lights and gas on Friday nights when I wasn't too busy playing punchball or whatever. When busy I was a yiddish boychicle. Have been in Wisconsin since 1957. My grandson will graduate from Xavier U. next month. Usually stay in Covington on the way to FL for the winter. Tony
