An Unusual Year In Review: 2020 in Carroll Gardens

oo

What an unusual year 2020 has been. It began with so much hope and plans. Yet, Covid-19 changed our world and threw us all into turmoil as we  dealt with our new reality.  Seemingly, nothing will ever be the same, yet we move forward to the best of our ability. And here we are, ready to step into another year.
But before we do, perhaps you might like to come along with PMFA to review 2020 in photos taken in and around our beloved Carroll Gardens.

Yes, so much has changed in these twelve months: we lost family members, lost jobs, saw neighbors move out of the city, favorite bars and restaurants called it quits, so many stores closed, we spent too much time at home, craving a simpler time when we could gather. 

Perhaps it is foolish to hope that 2021 might bring some normalcy. If there is anything we should have learned, it is that making predictions or resolutions at New Year's is perhaps not wise.

We can and should, however, be grateful for what the pandemic has not taken from us. So here is to our lovely neighborhood and to our wonderful community. 

Wishing you all a lovely and healthy New Year, friends.

The pictures of the COVID world are very haunting. What a sad, and turbulent, year 2020 was. Thank you, Katia, for the tremendous work you do chronicling our community, our little corner of beautiful Brooklyn.
