Tuesday, on my day off (click here), I took the subway to Brooklyn Bridge Park. The park didn’t exist when I lived here (but that was more than 35 years ago). It’s gorgeous and continues to grow north and south along the East River. The park began on the former Port Authority piers south of the bridge. Click here to learn more about the park.

Why can’t I see others’ comments?
Susan:
First… I keep meaning to thank you for visiting and for allowing me to get to know you. It’s a great pleasure. Sorry about the missing comments. I converted this past year from Google Blogger to WordPress (and name changed from “Mitchell is Moving” to “Moving with Mitchell”). Comments were supposed to move with the old blog posts when I did the transfer, but one huge batch did not. Sorry you missed out on those!
