Who is a native Brooklynite?

Out of curiousity...

How many people here were actually born in Brooklyn?

Myself, I am a native Brooklynite, born and raised.

Me.

Native, of course.

who cares?

I propose a feat of strength between the natives and the outsiders at the next happy hour.

I'll take you on buddy!!!!!!! :twisted:

i'm not "native" but i live here since the 1980's. never left literally lol.

Born in Brooklyn (Crown Heights). Went to P.S. 161, JHS 61. then Wingate HS

Native.

Me too!

Born on Albany Ave, not far from Brooklyn College.

Manhattan-born, in the BKNY since '94; PS since '97.

Native, but now live far, far away....

I'll be you a lot of us know each other and just don't realize it. There's only so many high schools, and downtown BK is a small world. But happily I prefer to keep my anonymity! 8)

Born and raised in Park slope, my grandpa planted his feet here in the 60's.
I was born in Methodist hospital.
I spent most of my childhood in Prospect Park.
I'm a graduate of : P.S.107
I.S.88
H.S. of Telecommunications <-- not in Park Slope but oh well.

When did you go to IS 88?

What's with the head count? :?
Are we playing Gangs of New York?
Are a bunch of natives going to gather outside the Food Co-op and kick a bunch of non-natives' asses? God, I hope so.

We're gonna put flat tires on their Bianchis and strollers and force feed them and their babies gmo whole milk.

Not a native. I've lived in 14 cities/towns.
Lived here off and on for the last 20 years.

BUT....

Every time I'm working on a film set and someone asks one of the cops for directions, they point to me and say, "Ask that guy". (And I know the answer.)

Where's Belmont Ave.? Where does it start and where does it end? No peeking at online maps or Hagstrom either my friend.

"warriors.........come out and plaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay"

[quote=MeanDººD]congratulations assholes, you were born in brooklyn, yay!

Kings County envy.

Third generation native Brooklynite here!
(me, both parents, and all 4 grandparents were born here)

WTF is MeanDººD's problem? This seems like a benign enough thread...jeez.

OK. I was a few years earlier.

The nastier posts have been removed.

Just a reminder to everyone that the first rule of the site -- which can be read by following the "READ THE RULES" link at the top of EVERY page on the site -- is to be nice. Geez.

Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, babeeeee....

O.K.....without cheating, it' parallel to (and south of) Atlantic Ave. Starts somewhere in Brownsville gets interrupted by that pit near Schneider Ave. and peters out at South Conduit. There might be another couple of blocks on the other side of Conduit, but I'm not sure.
