In the 1970's, I lived in Brooklyn on Utica Ave. Singer Stephanie Mills lived across the street from me with her Aunt. That area was predominantly Jewish. I was one of only two black families living on my block. I still own a house 🏠 over there. Great video. Best of luck to you 🙏🏼

Yes, this is true. My mom bought her house in 1976 in this neighborhood. My mom passed and left the house to my siblings and I. I live here. It has changed a lot.

Thank you for the wonderful tour of Utica Ave. I lived on Sterling place near Utica in the 1960s. A lot has changed. My girlfriend lived near Utica and Church Ave. So I used to walk or take the bus.
