I also wonder about such oddities myself, like why there once was a Brooklyn Manor in the middle of Queens?


Brooklyn Manor still exists. The QM23 goes there.

You are probably right.

I was born in Brooklyn and have lived here my entire life. I just found out yesterday that Adam Sandler was born a few blocks from where I was born and we lived there at the same time. He moved out when he was five.

Although I spent my years in NYC in Queens, I'm proud to say that I was born in Brooklyn.
