On Dennet Place
Friend and reader Castillo left the following comment on Hey, Neighbor! Pardon Me For Asking, But...
My favorite block has been and always will be in my mind and heart, Dennet Place. The little block between Smith & Court, Nelson & Luquer st has an the air of a European village.
I moved onto Dennet Pl in 2000 and I was instantly welcomed not only into the neighborhood, but into families. I spent many nights with my neighbors eating dinner & playing with their children. So when I was going to get married the only place that it could be held was on Dennet Pl. The neighbors closed down the street where my wife & I were married on our stoop with 250 of our closes friends & family.
My wife and I bought an apt on Clinton st only a block away and many of the long time residents of Dennet moved away. I am still in touched with many of them who have become life long friends. We still have block party reunions now and then, but I will always cherish that little block called Dennet Place.

i don't know, joe dunn, a longtime resident, told me it's called "cats alley" but cats alley or denet place, i empathize with your cherished memories of the block that has been accumulating the gook from brown field a block away, my clasmate, arthur runyion who lived in one of those tiny basements used to share with me how it seeped thru the wall and i was there at a few of the whole block parties that almost seem to be a club, not just neighbors, o, memories, nice to know someone calls it denet place and not cats alliy
I grew up in Cat's Alley, formal name, Dennet Place. I have wonderful memories of my childhood that I will cherish until I die. There was no better place to grow up than Cat's Alley.
I just saw online that the house I grew up in is for sale. I had no idea it was built in 1899. WOW!
