25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Flatbush, Brooklyn

Few Brooklyn neighborhoods can tell their history through as many different kinds of famous people as Flatbush. Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond walked the halls of Erasmus Hall High School before either became a recording star. A future Supreme Court justice grew up in a Brooklyn household that prized education. An illustrator who would help invent modern television cartoons, an Oscar-winning actress, and a writer whose childhood experiences became material for his novels all have stories tied to the neighborhood. Even the list of names associated with Flatbush’s later hip-hop culture would fill an article of its own.

Town by town in Monmouth County showed massive swings to Democrats

For the first time since 1988, a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate won Monmouth County in this year's election. Sen. Cory Booker's 5.7 percentage point margin of victory over Republican challenger Justin Murphy signaled the first time this had happened since Sen. Frank Lautenberg won reelection over Republican candidate Pete Dawkins, according to election archives. It represents a nearly 16-point shift toward Democrats compared to 2018, the last year the U.S. Senate was at the top of the ticket. The 2018 midterms also resulted in a "blue wave" — but that year, the Republican senate candidate Bob Hugin carried Monmouth County by a 10.8-point margin over then-U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez. More: Monmouth flips blue, Ocean GOP edge shrinks in historic midterms The seismic shift brought on by the "blue wave" resulted in widespread Democratic support in nearly all 53 Monmouth County municipalities, from sprawling populous towns like Marlboro and Eatontown to small towns like Little Silver and Allenhurst. Of the 53 municipalities in Monmouth County, all but two saw a shift toward Democrats in 2026 — including 47 towns that saw double-digit shifts.
