Brooklyn Today
Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 169th day of the year.
ON THIS DAY IN 1892, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Kept in Terror: Bay Ridge Residents Now Go Out Armed.”
The article focused on numerous crimes that had taken place in Bay Ridge in the preceding months and a local citizens association that aimed to catch the offenders.
