f I remember correctly, when Brooklyn became apart of New York City it had to give up all of its names except two, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Brooklyn Dodgers. When the Dodgers left, and then the Giants followed them that same year. New York was devastated, a few years later I got the chance to be an Opening Day fan of the New York Mets, and the rest was history.
The Brooklyn Bridge is still there, and I have a special black and white photograph in my home of that bridge, and another of the New York City skyline at night, with the old World Trade Center buildings standing.
A door closes, and eventually another one opens.
