Hi: Is there anyone living in The Villages who once lived in Canarsie, Brooklyn? Joined the Brooklyn Club but have found no one who lived in Canarsie.

Hi Floridagal,
I looked at homes in TV this weekend with my husband and am considering moving there in the near future. I was born and raised in Canarsie. Remsen Avenue and Farragut Road. TV seems to be an amazing place!! Where in Canarsie are you from? I probably will join the Brooklyn club when I move there. Tell me how you like living in TV.
Regards....

Bet you'll find a few more. I have some friends from Carnarsie but they don't like computers, so not TOTV members.

I lived on Paerdegat 2nd Street for 28 years before moving to Florida. I lived in Palm Beach for 9 years and was ready to move back north when I found the villages. It is a great place to live and I made many friends here.

Hi Floridagal, I grew up in Sheepshead Bay, then moved to Starrett City (right near Canarsie) for 26 years. It was a great place to raise my kids....now, , well everything changes. I spent alot of time in Canarsie. My husband and I belong to The Brooklyn Club. We were there last night. Our table didn't do that great with the trivia LOL. It's nice to be around people from Brooklyn. Even if we didn't live in the same part of Brooklyn, there's still that "Brooklyn Mentality" if you know what I mean. What Village do you live in? We're in Buttonwood. Trish

My Aunt Anna Umberto and Uncle Tony Umberto lived on 86th Street in Brooklyn, until they died. I believe that would be the Bay Ridge / Fort Hamilton area.
Aunt Anna was my Godmother.......my dad's baby sister. Uncle Tony was in the Navy during WWII.
Anyone familiar with that area? Bay Ridge??? Fort Hamilton. Not sure which, but it was 86th Street.........they owned a two family home which was quite beautiful.
My dad's nephew and his wife also lived in that same part of Brooklyn.....
Ditto for my dad's eldest brother, his wife..........and now their still living daughter.

I was stationed on the Fort Hamilton Army Base in the early '90s. My sons went to school at PS 185 on 86th and Ridge Blvd. Except for the constant noise from the Verrazano Bridge 24/7, I really liked living there. Lots of good memories.
