brooklyn gal for a while

Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away

On my way to where the air is sweet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street?

Well, yes. Head up Flatbush, left on Tillary and right along Henry St.

You see, as Wikipedia educated me, "The brownstone architecture of Sesame Street, a fictional neighborhood in New York City, as well as the concept of neighbors from different backgrounds living in the same area and sharing their life experiences, is based on a neighborhood in Brooklyn called Brooklyn Heights*, where the creators of Sesame Street lived when the show began. "

So now when I see a tall dude in yellow with feathers on the subway, I dont bat an eyelash, for these are the people in the neighborhood.

*also the home of the Huxtable family
