Episode 12: Brooklyn Underhill Stories: All Global Soul

Our windows framed Underhill Avenue. We saw everything. Cars lost tires & hubcaps, shots fired, Labor Day eating roti, goat & jerk, Primrose's rum punch, our son dancing in W. Indian Children's parade. Daily commerce centered on a bodega, opened by Mohammed, an immigrant from Yemen; we fondly named it “The Yuck Store.” The other main traders moved product on the sidewalks from Washington Avenue to Underhill.  In 2006, we welcomed “Cheryl’s Global Soul” - a sit-down restaurant. In 2020, it changed again.
