Walkin' In Brooklyn

Among a few of the sights I saw was a grandfather clock out in a front yard. No idea if it was working or if it was out because it was trash. It'd be amusing if it was outside just for fun even if I can't think of a good reason why. The post office on Utica Ave says Rugby Station, which I thought curious. The only street named Rugby I know is Rugby Road, which is miles away, south of Prospect Park. I did "Google...
