Blast From the Past

The Brooklyn Public Library has placed its photographic catalog online, and allows users to search through the records. It's pretty neat to see my old haunting grounds from decades past.

Want to know where the Dodgers played before they moved out West? It's there.

Want to see Sheepshead Bay, home to Brooklyn's fishing fleet and a whole host of restaurants and Brooklyn icons? It's there too.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the New York Aquarium featuring the Cyclone in the background and Robert Moses among those shoveling the dirt?

Brooklyn College?

Madison High School? Midwood?

It's all in there.
