  • Summary

  • We're excited to be back with a special live episode of Radio Free Bay Ridge! Join us as we return for a new season of episodes, starting off with a special interview with local historian Henry Stewart for the release of his latest book, "The Streets of Brooklyn", a collection of 1800s Brooklyn Eagle columns by a mysterious writer known only as "ERG". Over the course of an hour and half, we'll discuss why he thought the Statue of Liberty sucks, how Old Man Hicks invented the hill, why its good that Park Slope doesn't have donkeys, and question whether the residents of Clinton street are ugly. All that and more in a hilarious and enlightening walk through Gilded Age Brooklyn a few years after the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge. Special thanks to Barrow's Intense Ginger Tasting Room in Industry City for hosting us! And be sure to grab a copy of Henry's book on Amazon or from the Book Mark Shoppe! ----
