Cool Vid: More Brooklyn in the Old Days

July 4th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Here’s another video posted by Hunter-Gatherer that has a lot of footage of Brooklyn in the 1980s. It comes from a film about the making of Last Exit to Brooklyn, which was released in 1989 and set in the 1950s. Great, great stuff.
