Please, you can easily come up with a better definition of Brooklyn than (ending) with Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’. That word alone is uncool. Try harder. – While Brooklyn has become the epitome of ‘cool and hip’ in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been ‘uncool’.
Try ‘Brooklyn has never been anything less than cool’ or ‘For others throughout the world Brooklyn has always been the definition of ‘cool’.
