Hello Everyone, – I’m glad to see Monica(18yrs.) Actually interseted in history of the boro. Thanks for current photos. I’m 33 and I thought I was the last generation. Back when-(date not on hand) Ridgewood did fall into the border line of Brooklyn. They changed it in the earlier part of the 1900’s. I’ve seen plenty of vintage maps with Ridgewood claimed by Brooklyn. Probably when the theatre was built it did fall into Brooklyn. Never went there myself but was a local here and there through Ridgewood. Went to Grover Cleveland. As stated by Monica Ridgewood is fine as long as you know where going and go about your business. If you hang out you will find whatever your looking for be it trouble, drugs, or just a good time in the neighborhood. Just like any other neighborhood. Don;t fool yourself. I remember Madison Ave. & Fresh Pond as a corner that you didn’t look twice at as a kid unless you knew someone there. I really don;t know if things have changed. They probably have due to the huge Polish rush. I married one. Anyway happy to see people chatting about old New York. Thanks again Monica for keeping it another generation.
