Did you know that Brooklyn almost didn’t become a part of New York City? It’s true. In 1898 they made clear that, if their conditions weren’t met, they wouldn’t join the already established other 4 New York Boroughs. Luckily their conditions were met and people started moving to Brooklyn in droves soon after because they wanted to ‘live in New York’.
The fact is, if you want to move to Brooklyn or move from Brooklyn there are plenty of bridges to get you in and out. No less than 10 bridges span the East River, including six suspension bridges. The most famous is the Brooklyn Bridge, of course, but there are some others like the Triborough, Throggs Neck and Bronx-Whitestone that are almost as famous and just as busy. To say that Brooklyn movers spend a lot of time crossing bridges would be a rank understatement.
Brooklyn moving companies are well versed in getting around the borough, of course, including negotiating the crazy streets loaded with taxicabs darting in and out of traffic like wild monkeys. The borough is like a maze, with 1-way streets that would leave an uninitiated mover in tears as they try to figure out exactly how to get to their destination. That’s why it’s best to use an experienced Brooklyn Mover when moving day finally arrives, because it’s hard to see a grown man cry.
Better not ask your Brooklyn Moving Company to take you to Long Island either because they might tell you that you’re already there. Interestingly, Brooklyn is actually located on the island of Long Island, not Manhattan.
Latinos move to Brooklyn more often than any other ethnic group, and there is a thriving Latin community there in on 5th Avenue in Sunset Park. Eighth Avenue has their own ethnic group and has been known a ‘Brooklyn’s Chinatown’ since the 1980’s. Indeed, if you hire a moving company in Brooklyn chances are that your moving crew will all be multi-lingual.
If you are going to be moving to Brooklyn you’ll be glad to know that Prospect Park is there and will give you a beauitiful green space to walk, jog or just relax after a long day fighting traffic and dodging taxis. Make sure that your Brooklyn movers has the experience necessary to navigate this historical part of New York and before you know it you’ll be home-sweet-home in your new Brooklyn abode.
