A Name is Born

I know this all looks weird. You’re probably thinking right now about “What happened to the Brooklyn News? Well, calm down.

Fun weather gone

Almost everybody likes the snow. I’m one of those people, so I was a bit disappointed when I saw I had no snow at my upstate house. Most of you have been there. It gets a lot of snow in the winter.

Day Trip for Kids

Have A Picnic At Central Park! You can ask a grownup to take you to Central Park,but remember to pack food and drink. You can visit the zoo, feed the birds, and you can feed turtles, and that would definitely be a great place to play hide-and-seek! Also, I recommend you bring a frisbee so you could throw it around. Their phone number is (212)-310-6600. You can ride the Central Park Carousel, which is about a 10 minute walk away from the zoo.
