In a special 30th anniversary edition, there's loads to read about Brooklyn—and the Brooklyn Paper.
If there’s one constant in
Brooklyn over these last 30 years, it’s change. A Rip Van Winkle
returning waking up in a Brooklyn neighborhood after a three-decade
slumber might not be able to recognize the place. From the glistening
new towers on the Williamsburg waterfront to Yuppies in Bay Ridge, this
borough has been in flux for all of our 30 years of covering it. Here’s
our look back at how each of the vibrant communities in our coverage
area have changed over the years.
