"My family owned a brownstone...in Park Slope...in the 80's."

"I can't afford smoothies in my hood anymore!"

Boom.

For reals, I'm so BK That...

My Italian grandfather worked on the docks in Red Hook. He wore a toothpick behind his right ear to get picked daily by the foreman. 

My Irish Grandfather worked in a factory in Bush Terminal. And every day after work he we went to Givn Me Rent Monie Way PUB!* Came home drunk and empty handed to my great grandmother and their 6 kids. 

Leavn the rest of my Puerto Rican & German NY ancestors for another time! 

Ya'll get it, right?!?

Today, what is your BK she-story or history?!?
