Update Page I made a run through the neighborhood to grab some specific update shots and found some changes, history and trivia. If anyone has any recollections to add drop me a line at tapeshare@yahoo.com or drop a note in the Guestbook.
		Crescent and Jamaica, 2007 I discovered an entirely new support strut under the curve where the J train turns on Crescent onto Jamaica.
		Church, Elderts and Etna. This church dates back to at least 1908 but I have very little history at the moment. It appears it started as the First United Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn. I have confirmed it was organized in 1902 and the building dedicated in 1911- so this was not the first building as the structure on the 1908 map was a wood frame building. .
	" >	72 Elderts Lane A bit odd to find this 3 story structure in the middle of the block. Now a spanish church, have a guess at what this building was 100 years ago. Yvonne Temann recalls it was a moving and storage company in our era (Atlas Moving and Storage?). Yvonne also reminds us that Eldert's Lane had Brooklyn addresses on the west and Queens addresses on the east side.
		On the southwest corner of Danforth and Hemlock sits this house, oddly out of place. Hardcore East New Yorkers might know this house in fact has a very unusual history.
		If you peeked at the trivia answer, 28 Danforth was one half of the Shaw Hotel. The other half sat at the other end of Danforth near Crescent, but as you can see in the aerial image, it is no longer standing.
		To complete the story; the missing house is pictured on the right in 1940; the el along Crescent is visible. On the left, the house in the 2007 view as it looked in 1940.
		A quick test for you Zone 3ers; can you recognize these locations that were sites of neighborhood hangouts?
		The location in those shots above were the southwest corner of Norwood and Fulton (Norwood Palace) and the northwest corner (Oedings/Cordes ice cream parlor). I returned to this location because the sharp eyes of Tim O'Reilly had noted in a recent photo that there are now stairs for the elevated line on the south side of Fulton Street that didn't exist in his day. This shot reveals that the entire structure leading up to the platform is brand new!
		This view looking south towards the Cleveland St. station raised a question. Did they always have "Fulton Street" painted on the elevated structure?
		PS 290 on Schenck and Fulton effectively replaced P.S. 76. Does anyone recall what was in this location in our day? Pete Colantuoni (and my brother) both reminded me a lumberyard sat there back then.
