In this episode of Your History Your Story, we’re thrilled to welcome back a familiar and beloved guest—Marty Blumberg. Marty joined us previously to share stories from his books “My Brooklyn My Way” and “Going Back to Brooklyn” and we’re excited to have him with us again to talk about his newest work, “Brooklyn: The Borough of Dreams”.
In his latest book, Marty takes us on a poetic journey through his childhood in Brooklyn, New York during the mid-twentieth century. With heartfelt verse and vivid recollections, he captures the spirit of a time and place that, while long gone, still lives on in memory.
A master storyteller with an extraordinary gift for detail, Marty brings to life the people, places and events of his old neighborhood in a way that’s both nostalgic and deeply human. Get ready to be transported to a simpler time—where corner stores, stoop conversations, and tight-knit communities were the heart of everyday life.
