Bklink: 18th Avenue

Here's a detailed and photo-filled look at 18th Avenue and Bensonhurst that includes a walk on Christmas Eve. "A source of endless fascination to me has been the depiction of animals wearing crowns, chef hats, or similar anthropomorphism. At 61st Street, the Bari pig, captioned 'King of the Sausage' on other signs in Brooklyn, holds a string of encased relatives, wearing a slobbering, maniacal grin. Oh well, some animals are known to occasionally eat their young."--Forgotten New York
