Views and Thoughts on Life in Brooklyn

American Dream: Doesn't It Get Your Creative Bug Jumping?

By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft


Lots of great singers, artists, writers were born and raised in densely populated places like Hoboken, NJ (Frank Sinatra) and Brooklyn (there's a bunch). There's something about lots of people, living shoulder to shoulder, that gives artists energy to draw on. 

I get a jolt of creative juice when I think of how cool the spaces are inside old brownstones like this. Probably artists' studios!

These shots are all of Sunset Park, Brooklyn, where I used to live. Sunset Park is applying for status as an historic district, just as Park Slope has already done.

Here's a sampling of interesting rooflines to get your creative juices flowing.

Say, would you RT the tweet that brought you here? Thank you!









I included this because I liked the color of the bricks.
