Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 217th day of the year.
ON THIS DAY IN 1926, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Showers Bring Relief After 4 Die from Heat.”
The article focused on a storm that centered on Borough Hall and drenched the areas around it while leaving other sections of Brooklyn dry during a massive heatwave.
