As we wander about our modern neighborhood, caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s easy to ignore the long and vibrant history of our community. Let’s remedy that. Every weekend, we’ll take a step back, with the help of the [Brooklyn Daily Eagle archives](http://eagle.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/Default/Skins/BEagle/Client.asp?Skin=BEagle&ref=bklyner.com), and explore what was happening around South Slope over a century ago.

On [October 5, 1902](http://eagle.brooklynpubliclibrary.org/Repository/BEG/1902/10/05/002-BEG-1902-10-05-001-SINGLE.PDF?ref=bklyner.com#OLV0%5FEntity%5F0001), the Eagle took an amusing look at the surnames found in the borough’s latest directory.
