I lived on Bergen Street between 4th & 5th Aves in the mid 80's. My rent was $350. I even had a tiny piece of back yard where I grew veggies, my neighbors grew grapes and we shared, it was great. I've heard that the area has been seriously gentrified. One of those good news/bad news things, I guess.
We're heading east tomorrow, to my Mom's in PA. From there we're going to the beach, a rental at Long Beach Island, NJ. Can't wait! One of the few things I miss about my ex was his aunt & uncle's house at Kismet on Fire Island. Lots of nice summer memories.
