"This neighborhood is pretty quiet and surrounded by a lot of houses. If you do not like a quiet morning then don’t come here, the night is different since a lot of ambulances and police cars come by."

"Mixed cultured. Very old Brooklyn with a diverse neighborly feel. I grow-up here in the early 1980’s."

"Lots of dogs, but some of them are not on leashes and almost nobody picks up their dog’s poop. No dog parks around."

"There are street fairs and local shops that people recognize each other. You can see the same people every few days if you visit the same locals."

"The R train is incredibly slow. They do keep it clean though. There are many busses including the b8 to Brownsville, the s53, s59, s79 to Staten Island, the b1 and b13 to the beaches, and the express busses into the city. You can also catch the ferry at 69th street which takes 45 minutes to get to the city. "

"We help each other during the winter to shovel snow. We keep our block clean. We help our neighbors when help is needed."

"Outrageous homes worth millions that go way beyond with the Christmas decorations that are put up by hired professional decorators. This attracts people from all over who come to walk the residential streets, with their families, taking pictures along the way, during the holiday season. Police have been brought in over the last few years to help manage this phenomenon, which is growing in popularity, and widening in distance."
