About

The borough of Brooklyn in New York City found itself after World War II. Bobby Jacobs, born in Brooklyn in 1940, grew up in Brooklyn. He was poor in the early part of his life but never realized it. In 1952 his family moved from the poor neighborhood of Brownsville to middle-class Flatbush. He recognized the magnificence of Brooklyn, its people and its institutions. This is a series of short stories about the adventures of the author as he grew up, got educated and fell in love in Brooklyn. Sure, there was egg creams, punchball, stickball and so much more. Enjoy the adventures.
