Joseph, I did not say to visit the World’s Fair, but the site… it’s still there in the present, and is a somewhat interesting place to visit.
Note that the OP did not ask how Brooklyn and Queens differed Jewishly, or which was better.
And the crazy street numbering is to keep out unwanted guests, of course! If you are referring to KGH, then you would be talking about numbers in 60s and 70s that are sometimes re-used as Ave, Road, and Drive. You can also throw in a Crescent and a Terrace. The Streets are a separate numbering system, and run parallel to said Aves, Rd, Dr. At least the numbers are in order- other neighborhoods have non-alphabetical street names.
Please explain streets in Brooklyn: New Utrecht Ave and Old New Utrecht Rd. I always wondered why the old and new don’t cancel each other out and just become Utrecht Rd- would save room on the street signs.
