Red Hook has changed considerably even since I moved back to Brooklyn almost 6 years ago.<BR/><BR/>My first memory of Red Hook was when I worked at Macy's as a teenager in the mid 1970s...there was a floor manager named Mrs Pettuchi, and she lived in Red Hook. I asked if it was a bad neighborhood, and was told that it was only a bad neighborhood if you weren't from there. A couple of years later (probably 1978 or 79) my friend David took me to Jee Joes pizza for "oregano". Of course it wasn't really oregano!!!Andrew Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559545457057067607noreply@blogger.com
