a movie about my new home

Picture_5

I’ve moved to Carroll Gardens, a beautiful Brooklyn Neighborhood, over 8 years ago and never left. Here’s a documentary about the old-timers in the neighborhood that I call home.

  1. I lived right on the edge of Carroll Gardens (on Henry Street, between Kane & DeGraw) at the south end of Cobble Hill for years, and I miss it very much. I’m a little afraid to watch this documentary, because I know it will make me cry!

  2. this is heartbreaking. we have a similar situation in the north end of boston and now there are things like a raw food restaurant and clothing boutiques where mom & pops used to be. change is inevitable but it doesn’t make it any easier.

  4. Thank you for this. I grew up in Carroll Gardens and my parents, grandmother, cousins, etc still live there. My sister is a new shopkeeper (her lifelong dream). I may not live there anymore, but I, too, call it home.

    What a bittersweet tribute.
