An old Brooklyn buddy just posted this link on Facebook. Check out the trailer for New York Street Games, a documentary film about a simpler time in NYC. Back before blogs and Facebook and texting when we had to leave the house to have fun. Imagine that!

What I love about Bed Stuy is that it’s old school Brooklyn. I can hang out on my stoop and watch the kids play on the sidewalk (not my kids, mind you). There is still that sense of community that has been lost in many parts of New York.

FYI, I was a Chinese handball gal myself. Never played stickball in my life.
