Transplanted Brooklynites thrive all over the Sunshine State
The Brooklyn Eagle’s affiliated blog, BrooklynitesinParadise.com, covers the ongoing connections between Kings County and the Sunshine State.
Our intrepid Florida correspondent Joe Palmer recently uncovered connections to a crossword puzzle genius, Stanley Newman, a prize-winning cartoonist, Ray Russotto, and a long-dead, world-famous gangster.
Palmer also posted about Al Capone’s Palm Beach retreat, where he died after prison a long way from his South Brooklyn Roots.
