Second time trying

I fear this to be impossible; my urgent and meaningful blog post interrupted by pushing the wrong button---anyway, after South fourth walked up to Graham and Metropolitan; waited for 43 bus going South; first bus took forever to come, packed----debated on what to do, but the next bus came along, and was empty. So the journey began! First through hispanic Williamsburg, a long stretch from Grand to Broadway on Graham, then accross Broadway to Bed-Stuy, up Tompkins Street. What a journey! Beautiful Brownstones galore on every block (or most every block) both east and west; nicest seem to be on Putnam Avenue, as I look at those Brownstones and streets I ask myself: was this neighborhood always like this? Ofcourse this is only one street in the neighborhood, but when you consider the reputation that Bed-Stuy had, as "dangerous' and then you see those brownstones, well.....ofcourse it was always well known that a large part of Bed-Stuy was home to a successful "Black Bourgeosie" (for want of a better title), but well, the streets are amazing. Then accross Fulton into Crown Heights, and to my surprise, even more beutiful Brownstones, and also, many stately apartment houses; this ofcourse was a primarily Jewish neighborhood fifty years ago
And I ask myself: What are the stories of these streets? who lived there, how did the streets change. Finally got off Bus at eastern Parkway and Brooklyn Ave, walked here to Library, to do this blog.
Bedford and Eastern Parkway: wide open---looking north---still appeared stately and meaningful; could I have stood on this street fifty years ago, and seen the Jewish neighborhood that it was in all its glory? Have to return, more bus rides, want to discover more.....
