Thanks for mentioning Nicky, Arnie, and sister Titi! And don’t forget papa Nick, who was the super of a building on Montague. He once threatened to cut my hair himself if I didn’t get a haircut. We used to hang out in front of the Montague St Saloon until papa Nick went to super on 36th St in Hell’s Kitchen. I have very fond memories of those days.

There were brothels on State St. in the 1960’s. There was also a small Spanish neighborhood (Spain Spanish)., down by Columia Place. There was a Brooklyn Heights branch of the Socialist Party run out of real estate office on Montague St. (Kenneth Boss)

In the 70’s there was a notions store, Netties, on Montague St.

AEB, too bad you weren’t around the ‘Que during the 70’s. There were truly some Queen Bees back then.

For those of you interested in Heights history from the point of view of those who grew up here in the 50′, 60’s 70’s and 80’s, there’s a Facebook group called, imaginatively enough, “Growing Up In Brooklyn Heights”.
