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.

Keeping Hoboken Looking Its Best: A Cleaner’s Craft Since 1965

In the ever-evolving landscape of Hoboken, New Jersey, one address has remained steadfast for over six decades: 840 Bloomfield Street. Here, Modern Cleaners & Tailors has been more than just a business; it has been a community fixture, ensuring garments of all kinds look their best since 1965. Yet, with the dawn of 2026 came a new chapter for this storied establishment, as Frank L., a seasoned garment industry veteran, took the helm. Frank's journey into the world of garments didn't begin in the front of a retail shop but on the expansive floors of a dress manufacturing factory. Since 1987, he has been immersed in the nuances of fabric, fit, and fashion, having owned a New Jersey factory that produced over 1.2 million dresses. This deep-rooted experience in garment construction is now the backbone of the meticulous tailoring and cleaning services he offers at Modern Cleaners & Tailors. "When you've manufactured over a million dresses, you understand how a garment is built from the inside out," Frank explains, his eyes lighting up with the passion of someone who has spent a lifetime perfecting his craft. This knowledge, he insists, is what sets his business apart from others that operate primarily as drop-off locations without a personal touch.

Opinion: Washington is Making It Harder for People Like My Grandparents to Keep Their Health Insurance. I Won’t Let That Happen.

“As the federal government abandons the people it is meant to serve, New York City is leaning in to protect public goods like health coverage.”. A few years ago, I was working in a doctor’s office scheduling colonoscopies and endoscopies—screenings that can detect cancer early, when it is most treatable. Each appointment I booked felt like a small act of prevention against a disease that has claimed the lives of so many.
