Yes. The New Lots Boys hung around "The Triangle," which was a wedge-shaped block where New Lots Avenue met Livonia Avenue, between Cleveland Street and Ashford Street, under the elevated subway tracks of the New Lots Avenue station of the IRT. That station was the last stop on that subway line. The tracks continued to Elton Street, where they curved and went up the street to the "car barns" (repair/maintenance shops) between Hegeman Avenue and Linden Boulevard. I know all this because my first home was a top floor apartment in a building on Elton Street and New Lots Avenue. Those tracks ran 20 feet from our living room window. Made a hell of a racket.
And as he put it there somewhere on elton street was a park where they hung out,new lots junior crew.Suposedly that was a gang that had its start in 1942,now thats real early.I think i know what building you are refering to.What year did you leave Brooklyn TB?
