: During the last week or so I've discovered several wonderfull websites about Brooklyn. Memories long forgotten are flooding back; it's wonderful.
: Question: My family lived at 910 Hopkinson Ave. and then the Jimmerson Co-ops between Hegeman and Linden Blvd. We used to call the area Brownsville-East New York. Was that area really in Brownsville or was it in East New York??
: I went top PS 165 (1958 grad), Meyer Levin JHS 285 (1960 grad), and Tilden High until the end of 1961 when we moved to Queens.

Hi Ed
I'm not sure if where you grew up was considered Brownsville. I went to the HES on
Hopkinson Ave(bet Sutter & Pitkin) which was
Brownsville and I grew up on Amboy Street(bet
Sutter & Blake) . This was BROWNSVILLE.
