I moved back to Brooklyn today

[FunkDoc1112]

The Brooklyn Boy is home:

I was born on 17th street close to Prospect Park but my family moved out when I was 3 when my dad got his job at Phizer, lived in Connecticut, and then Rockland County in NY, and finally Georgia for the last 18 years. But after getting transferred to a new agency for my job in advertising I'm back where I belong

 

[Sex Luthor]

So you haven't been back since you were 3?

 

[WaveMolecules]

You’re not “from” Brooklyn but welcome back I guess doggie

Don't buy a $20 dollar chop cheese

Nah, I've been back there a bunch of times cuz I've got a gazillion cousins and aunts/uncles there, but I haven't lived there since and I wouldn't really consider myself "from" Brooklyn the same way my mom and older brother are.

Oh fa sho. I was just wondering bc I know it hit different when you know people there. It's not as exciting when everybody say "damn last time I saw you, you were a baby" and you don't remember nobody

Watch out for the savages.

As someone from Brooklyn, I sometimes wish Brooklyn itself was a solo city away from NYC


That's how much I love it

You’re def not from Brooklyn. Ga-who?

False claiming. Everybody claims to hate New York but wants to be from New York. stop fronting. This Dude is Atlanta. He said that he “considers himself to be” - that’s not how this works.

What is it about your old neighborhood that brings you comfort? I’ve always felt going back to my old neighborhood would be like going backwards in life.

Yall shytting on fam lmao, I haven't "lived" in Sacramento since I was 9, I'm now 32, and as an adult I've spent two entire summers back there as well as about 5 or 6 different trips and established relationships...

In the time since I last had a Sac "address" at 9, I've lived in LA, Atlanta, metro DC, Memphis, Charlotte, and about 6 or 7 other places...

So I'm not "from" Sacramento in the same sense as those who spent their entire adolescence there, or people who are around my age in their 30s and have never left. But I'm also familiar enough with the city, ton of relationships, it's home and always will be...

This may not exactly be like OP but if he's been to Brooklyn enough to know how to get around without directions in some spots (like me in North Sac), he can claim BK...

Why are you such a weirdo???

First inferring that I hate NY when that's quite the opposite and anybody who posts on the boards I frequent would know that. And like I said, I don't consider myself from Brooklyn the way my family is. My mom and brother grew up in Redhook - they're actually from Brooklyn. I was just a visitor with roots.
