Discover the surprising connection between Park Slope and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and why Brooklyn locals still feel the sting of their departure decades later. Hear tales of the neighborhood's gilded age mansions, its decline and near-abandonment in the mid-20th century, and its remarkable renaissance into the family-friendly, brownstone-lined streets we know today.
