Flamelets on Vanderbilt Ave
Brooklyn, NY - GGP - Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Last night, on my journey in search of Pet Bird stickers, I came upon a mini-mini-drama on Vanderbilt Avenue and Bergen Street: a fire in a garbage can.
Just as I was preparing to cross the street to get a decent shot of the flames, this fire truck rolled up to put matters to rights.
The firefighters leapt out of the truck in full regalia.
Folks emerged from the nearby stores (and peeked from a window or two) to see what was going on.
The firefighters drenched the flames and that was that. (Note Pet Bird sticker on lamp post behind the garbage can!!)
Smiles all around; this was a pleasant, easy gig for the guys.
After they left, I shot the remains.
Another highly gratifying walk in the Nation of Brooklyn!

classic citynoise! i love this entry, and yeah, especially the fact that it reads like a narrative/documentary, heh. good job!
i always get a huge kick out of seeing my own neighborhood on here... its like seeing it through other people's eyes, and i'm always discovering new things through other people's photos.
thanks again, ggp!

To the two people above, I lived on Vanderbilt Ave & Bergen in the 40's 50's and 60's.
and Between St. Marks and Bergen there was old Joe Barker's Deli, Joe DiMaso's grocery store, Joe Mormile's candy store, and Mike labetta's barber shop. Some more names you might know: Joe the butcher,Joe Matteo's, Joe the Iceman, (all Vanderbilt Ave) the Pinone's, the Dellabella's also I know Joseph Tardo, Do you remember Chicky (chick a boom) all Bergen street. and many more, there are alot of Joe's, on St Marks Joe Pepitone etc. I don't believe I know the Sidotis at lease the name. Alot of people passed away.
