Sunset Park residents gather for story telling of neighborhood
Take me back!
It was a trip down memory lane for former and current Sunset Park residents on Thursday, December 11, for Real Stories of Sunset Park. The event, hosted by executive director of Sunset Park Restoration Tony Giordano, was held at the Sunset Park Library and served as a forum for attendees to tell stories of the neighborhood as well as learn about its history.
“To me, it’s like putting money in the bank,” said Giordano, when asked about the significance of the event. “It’s preserving our culture and it’s going to pay dividends not just now but in the future too. People can look back and say we’re part of that tapestry that keeps going.”
