Slice of life view in Windsor Terrace and Kensington, the neighborhood.

[by Sharon Frost in Brooklyn]

Stephen watching fĂștbol in the living room: Barcelona is playing in Valencia.  The beer is made right here in Brooklyn.  One of my model skeletons is visible in the foreground.
Laundry room round and round. A laundry room is such a luxury really. It’s not that common to have an individual washing machine in New York City.  And apartment buildings with basement laundry rooms are simply swell — beats trudging stuff to the launder center.
My husband reading in Hamilton’s, a local bar/cafĂ©.  Sun is hitting the globe: portentious in Kensington, Brooklyn.
Another local cafĂ©, this one in Windsor Terrace, right by the Fort Hamilton Parkway subway stop.  Restaurants and cafĂ©s are relatively new to my neighborhood.  It’s nice to have them but they come at a very high price: gentrification:  tall apartment buildings erected on every available plot of ground.  My neighbors tell me (we don’t have a car) that parking has become stressfully competitive.
