Chassidish means the full garb, shtreimel and bekeshe included and is a devoted follower of one specific Rebbe.
Heimish is more like jacket and gartel (double breasted suit preferred)or with one or more of the following options: Bekeshe with down hat; jacket with up hat; beard; trimmed beard; no beard; usually with chassidishe havarah; is a follower of one or more Rebbes but more passively than a full fledged chossid…….That’s a start

The daughter’s of Lot wrote a book about their mother. It was called “My Mother the Netziv”
It seems that even way back when it wasn’t so preferable to take a second wife. In Rus, when Ploni Almoni is offered to marry Rus, he refuses, saying “Pen Ashchis Es Nachalasi”. The Targum explains this to mean that he doesn’t want to destroy his marriage by taking another wife.
I have very fond memories of the once illustrious neighborhood of East Flatbush. We lived in the section known as Remsen Village, and there were quite a number of shuls that i can think of offhand (Rabbi Zimmerman’s Young Israel of Remsen, Young Israel of East Flatbush[Rabbi Lazar on E 89th St.], the Ave A Shul, Gerrer Shteeble on Ave A, Rav Rottenberg’s shul[with mikvah],Mizrachi, Yeshiva Rabbi David Liebowitz, Nachlas Haleveiim, Cong Yodei Binah, Nusach Ari [Brownstien on 89th],and a few in the east 50’s -Rabbi Hecht, Rabbi Booket, Rabbi Teitelbaum).
The yearly Remsen Village Street Fair , Which I remember being on Remsen between B and Ditmas, was a highlight of the year. That block, incidentally, was packed with frum yidden. We used to call it the “Succah Block”, due to the great number of succos that were visible during that time of the year.
Ah, the good ole days……
