Review by J. Taylor, 2007-06-26

Grew up in the bridge-destroying decade for this section of Brooklyn --1950-70s. This is a good representation of what I remember and what we all should remember.

Review by John Cirillo, 2001-12-27

This book is amazing. If you or anyone you know is from Bay Ridge get this book. I have recently moved out of Bay Ridge, but this book makes me want to go back. To see the changes that the neighborhood has gone through it incredible. This is a must have for your personal library.

This journey by text and antique photos of Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton is a must read and a must own for those of us who lived the good life on these pleasant streets. Gone forever but still alive in our memories are the Staten Island Ferry and some of the small movie theatres that represented escape from the hot summers of the inner city. The majestic mansions that dotted Shore Road are gone but their replacements, though slightly less opulent, retain the gentile grandeur of the area. Fort Hamilton High School and Public School 102 remain as they were still serving thousands of Bay Ridge children. Send this book to anyone you know who grew up in Bay Ridge. They will thank you for this delightful trip back in time.
