Sunset Parker gathering steam on Facebook
Neighborhood group attracts 6,0000 members
A Facebook group created by a Sunset Park civic leader who wanted to share photos he had of the community from the 1960s and 1970s has grown into an indispensable forum for residents to exchange ideas, gripe about the city and boast about the special nature of their neighborhood.
Sunset Parker, a Facebook group started by Tony Giordano in 2014, recently signed up its 6,000th member.
“I have to admit, this was all a shock to me,” Giordano told the Brooklyn Eagle in an email. “I really thought I would find a dozen history buffs who liked old photos.”
