10 Brooklyn Facts - In A Brooklyn Minute (Week 92)

Ten facts about Brooklyn - interesting, odd, fun, historic and even surprising. Some of the facts are reasons why I love the borough of Brooklyn so much - and why some of us when we are asked while traveling where we're from say "Brooklyn" and not "New York City".

Possibly one of the facts is a bit subjective... But I haven't found anyone yet who disagreed.

Do you have any interesting Brooklyn facts to share?

The song is called "Whirlwind Romance" by Jason Matherne (aka youtube.com/lljamelle11). I found the title of his song just as fitting as the music itself.

@Mesiha1 You have made me so happy with your comment. I was reading it late at night on my phone while traveling in Thailand (you can see some of it in my new video). You are so kind to say such nice things to me.

Wishing you a wonderful week.

@lamocuana1 I can only recommend a visit to Brooklyn. Take the train to BK, get a slice of cheesecake or pizza or a hot chocolate and walk back to Manhattan across the BK Bridge...
