Bay Ridge history lives on Fourth Avenue
The Fourth Avenue Task Force and Community Board 10 teamed up to give a historic walking tour of Brooklyns Park Avenue on April 14.
Susan Pulaski, Bay Ridge historian and Community Board 10 member, tied the past to the present as she talked about the history of Bay Ridge and what improvements could be made to bring back its glory days.
Pulaski noted New York City courted Brooklyn, before it became a borough in 1898. This was the gem, this was the sophistication of the city, she explained to about a dozen Ridgeites, including Councilmember Vincent Gentile. Brooklyn had the cultural concepts that we all wanted.
