Ten facts about Brooklyn – interesting, odd, fun, historic and even surprising. Some of the facts are reasons why I love the borough of Brooklyn so much – and why some of us when we are asked while traveling where we’re from say “Brooklyn” and not “New York City”.
Possibly one of the facts is a bit subjective… But I haven’t found anyone yet who disagreed.
Do you have any interesting Brooklyn facts to share?
The song is called “Whirlwind Romance” by Jason Matherne (aka youtube.com/lljamelle11). I found the title of his song just as fitting as the music itself.
