Walkin' In Brooklyn

Continuing my quest to finish off the side streets of Park Slope, many of which I walked and biked when I was much younger. I took the G train to 7th Ave and got off at the 8th Ave end, and then walked over to 11th Street to pick up where I left off. The first place I had to stop at was this building on Prospect Park West just off 11th St. That window to the left of the front door goes into the apartment where my grandparents lived when I was very little. My grandmother passed when I was in kindergarten and grandpa moved not long afterward. I remember climbing those steps and have some memories inside.

The images below include at least one shot of each block (excluding 9th...
