1970s Brooklyn: See What Made This Decade Unforgettable

Okay, here’s my story about my 1970s Brooklyn project:

1970s Brooklyn: See What Made This Decade Unforgettable

So, I got this wild idea to dig into what Brooklyn was like back in the 1970s. You know, bell bottoms, disco, and all that jazz. I wanted to see the real Brooklyn, not just the stuff you see in movies. I started by gathering a bunch of old photos. I mean, I really went down the rabbit hole, ending up with over a thousand pictures!

My goal was simple: find pictures that showed everyday life. I wasn’t looking for big events, although there were some crazy things happening back then, like that Munich Olympics mess and the Iran hostage situation. Even stuff like ESPN starting and movies like “The Godfather” and “Star Wars” coming out. “Jaws” was a big deal, too – everyone was talking about it! But I wanted the everyday stuff. Street corners, people hanging out, what the shops looked like, you know?

I spent hours, days even, looking through these photos. It was like stepping back in time. I picked out about 40 that I thought really captured the vibe of places like Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights. These weren’t your typical tourist snapshots. One picture that sticks out was this one from, I think it was November 22, 2020, showing some kind of militant display near a window in Bushwick. Super intense!

  • First, I just started browsing online, looking for any old photos of Brooklyn.
  • Then, I narrowed it down to the 1970s, which was a bit trickier.
  • Next, I started organizing them by neighborhood, trying to get a feel for each area.
  • After that, I picked out the ones that really showed what I was looking for – real life in Brooklyn.
  • Finally, I put them all together, and bam! It felt like I had a little time machine.

It was a lot of work, but honestly, it was so much fun. I felt like I was piecing together a puzzle, and each photo was a little piece of Brooklyn’s history. It made me appreciate how much things have changed, but also how some things stay the same. Brooklyn’s always had this unique energy, and you can see it in these old photos. It’s like, even though the clothes and cars are different, the spirit of the place is still there.

Honestly, it made me want to explore more about the history of my city. I might even do this for other decades, or maybe another city altogether! What is important is to keep exploring, keep digging, and keep discovering.

今天跟大家伙儿聊聊我最近捣鼓的一双鞋,黄紫配色的耐克,你们知道,就那种运动鞋。我是想弄双新鞋穿穿,毕竟旧的那双也穿好久,有点腻。 平时就喜欢瞎逛,看到啥新鲜玩意儿都想试试。那天我就在网上瞎溜达,想看看有啥好看的鞋子。翻来覆去看半天,眼睛都花,突然就看到一双鞋,颜色挺特别,黄不拉几紫不溜秋的,还是个耐克的标,看着还挺顺眼。我当时就想,这鞋要是穿出去,那回头率,啧啧,肯定老高。找鞋子:我就开始在网上各种搜,什么“耐克黄紫鞋”、“耐克紫黄鞋”,反正各种关键词都试个遍。 比价格:你还别说,真让我找到几双差不多的,但是价格有高有低,看的我眼花缭乱。我这人买东西,还是比较小心的,不能光图便宜,得看看是不是正品,还得看看评价咋样。 看评价:我就点进去看那些买过的人都咋说,有人说有人说一般,还有人说颜色有点色差,反正啥说法都有。我选一家看着比较靠谱的店,看描述里写着什么“耐克女式 8.5 Free TR 跑步鞋灰色霓虹黄色紫色 #629496-501”,价格也还行,大概一百来块钱,加上运费啥的,也得小五百块。我看下,说是美国那边寄过来的,说是正品,我就想着试试,反正也不算太贵。 下单之后就是等等,等好几天,等的我花都谢,终于收到。拆开一看,还真不错,颜色和我看图片的时候差不多,摸着也挺舒服,穿上试试,大小也合适。这下我可高兴坏,穿着新鞋子到处得瑟,感觉自己走路都带风。 这双黄紫配色的耐克鞋,还真是没让我失望,穿着舒服,样子也好看,关键是这颜色,真是太骚气,哈哈。这回的购物经历,总的来说还是挺满意的,就是等的有点久,不过好东西都是值得等待的嘛你们说是不是? 总结 这回买鞋也算是一次小小的尝试,从一开始的瞎逛,到后来的各种搜索、比较、看评价,到下单、等待、收货,整个过程还挺有意思的。以后,我还得多试试这些新鲜玩意儿,生活嘛就是要多姿多彩才有趣!
