Mike Coughlin email	Memories of Tony’s Pizzeria. With the picture of the Little Big Horn on the wall in the restaurant side. The Shuffle board on the bar side and a juke box with some great records. Leave Tony’s and go across Van Brunt St. to the bakery for the Best black and white cookies in Brooklyn.

Tom H. email	Susan L. - Yep, you gotta love the nosey neighbors! My best friend from 2nd Place married a girl from 1st Place and moved there. Her name is Corrine, but you might know her brother Bart or sister Vicky. I recall a girl named Grace Ann that lived on 1st place that made quite an impression back in the 70's :)

Tom H. email	Susan L. - You are correct. Burt Reynolds shot the movie "Shamus" in 1973 in several places in the Park Slope section. As kids, my parent's had us standing outside O'Neill's card shop on 5ht Ave and 10th St. I believe, with the crowd watching Burt come downstairs from a poolhall scene they shot on the 2nd floor. He also had a scene near one of the warehouses on 3rd Street.
