I used to live on Jefferson, between Marcy and Tompkins, and walked past this house just about every day for more than 17 years.
If a real estate agent wanted to show you an apartment in the CarGo Triangle, would you know what neighborhood he or she was talking about?
Don’t let the listing’s “carriage house” label give you the impression that 323 Pacific Street is old or quaint. Yes, the look of this decked-out home was inspired by 19th-century stables, but with a whopping 5,895 square feet of space, this newly built townhouse is vastly larger and dramatically more luxurious than the area’s average historic horse home. And, holy cow, has it…

Did You Know the Teddy Bear Was Invented in a Bed Stuy Candy Shop?Interesting, looks like these kids may have been protesting unfair distribution of resources at certain schools. However, PS 282 clearly is not in Bed Stuy, but in the North Slope. I wonder if back then (as now) the school was populated mostly by African-Americans who are both out of zone and probably out of district.
Remembering Brooklyn’s Civil Rights Activists and the Fight for a Better Bed StuyNice find Suzanne!
