Paul Auster Inducted Into Brooklyn Botanic Celebrity Path

Do you know the celebrity path in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden?

Since 1985, more than 160 Brooklyn notables, including Walt Whitman,
Jackie Gleason, Woody Allen, Barbra Streisand, Norman Mailer and Gil Hodges,
have had their names embedded in an 18-inch by 24-inch concrete paver and
decorated with a stylized leaf outline cast in bronze. Each paver also contains
a bronze medallion of the Brooklyn
Bridge , encircled by the
phrase, “The Greatness of Brooklyn Is Its People.”

I think Paul Auster was pleased: “I've lived in Brooklyn for the
better part of my adult life and it’s nice to know that this paver will
be sitting in the Botanic Garden long after I’m gone,” said Auster.

Moe, Curly and Shemp Howard, also known as The Three Stooges and former borough president Howard Golden were also inducted.
