What do you consider South Brooklyn? Historically, that was everything on the other side of Flatbush, I think...

That's how I think of South Brooklyn, too, but in that case, it's no contest at all--South Brooklyn obviously wins. South Brooklyn is just a much huger area than Prospect Heights. If you included Park Slope with Prospect Heights, then maybe you'd have a contest.

heh i think i went to high school with the son of the owner of that casket company!

The grandson of the owner was named Cesar. I used to work w/ his wife.

Subject: South Brooklyn

I believe that "South Brooklyn" referred to the communities to the south of the city of Brooklyn ... my dad grew up in the 30s in what is now Park Slope, but he called it South Brooklyn.

re Casket Company

It's very creepy watching the trucks pull out of there loaded up with caskets ... it's one of those industries you'd prefer to have operate under the "radar screen." But, yea, I guess it's part of the "economic engine" that is South Brooklyn.
