New York magazine's 40th Anniversary issue has an article by Pete Hamill, who grew up in Park Slope.
And here's an article he wrote about Brooklyn for the same magazine in 1969.
Coincidently, our Park Slope Neighborhood and Architectural History Guide launches this Thursday.
The guide includes two Walking Tours of Park Slope and accompanying audio tracks which can be downloaded from our website or through the Brooklyn Historical Society's podcast on iTunes.
Here's one track from the audio tour where Pete Hamill's brothers John and Denis Hamill talk about the street gangs in Park Slope in the 1950s and 60s:
