      • 關於我:

        The Dutch and English settled me in 1636 and 1637
        (previously I was home to the Canarsie Native Americans).
        About nine years later Dutch farmers established the hamlet
        of Brueckelen, near the present Borough Hall. By 1664, six
        towns had been established: Breuckelen (later anglicized to
        Brooklyn), Bushwick, Flatbush, Nieuw Amersfoort (Flatlands),
        Gravesend, and New Utrecht. Kings county was established in
        1683; the Brooklyn Ferry area was incorporated as the
        village of Brooklyn in 1816, and the entire town was
        chartered as a city in 1834. In the 1830s Brooklyn Heights
        became perhaps the first modern suburb, accessible to New
        York City by ferry.

        I steadily absorbed neighboring settlements. After
        annexing Williamsburg and Bushwick in 1854, I became the
        third largest city in the United States, and continued to
        absorb other towns, including Flatbush, New Utrecht, and
        Gravesend, until it became coextensive with Kings County in
        1896. In 1898, when I became a New York City borough, my
        population was 830,000. Now I boast over 2.5 million residents.

      • Brooklyn is the best place I've lived. Sometimes
        when I wake up and he's not there, I just want
        to cry. I mean when I'm not there. In him.

      • Brooklyn, how I love thee, let me
        count the ways (?). 1. I love how you
        can go from yuppieville to the dumps
        in less than one block, 2. I love how
        you accept all people regardless of
        race, class, religion, sexual
        orientation, etc., 3. I love how your
        park beats the ass off of that big
        tourist attraction in the middle of
        Manhattan, 4. I love your mom and pop
        shops, 5. I love how there are parts
        of you I haven't even explored
        yet, . . . I could go on and on. . .
        All I can say Brooklyn is that my
        dachsund and I LOVE you!!! (If I don't
        have to file bankruptcy first, I plan
        to say with you forever)
