Welcome To Brooklyn: We Don't Have Everything

If you ever drive in to or out of Brooklyn, you'll find some interesting welcome signs. We have the following signs welcoming you to (or telling you you're leaving) this most illustrious borough. Borough President Marty Markowitz has a sense of humor and it shows.

• Welcome to Brooklyn: Home To Everyone From Everywhere!
• Welcome to Brooklyn: Believe The Hype!
• Welcome to Brooklyn: Like No Other Place In The World!
• Welcome to Brooklyn: Not Just A Borough, An Experience
• Leaving Brooklyn: Oy Vey!
• Welcome: Brooklyn’s in the House!
• Leaving Brooklyn: Fugheddaboudit
• Welcome to Brooklyn: How Sweet It Is!
• Welcome to Brooklyn: Name It…We Got It

I pretty much enjoy all the signs and they are pretty true, but the last one (Name it...We Got It) got me thinking that, while we do have quite a bit in our borough, I can name some things that we do not have. Prepare yourself for another list. And I don't mean to sound pedantic.

What we don't have in Brooklyn...

• Fjords
• A restaurant that specializes in Danish cuisine.
• Pelicans
• Ample parking
• Great public schools
• A "Little Lichtenstein"
• Breakfast tacos
• Nascar fans
• Wal-Mart
• Legal brothels
• Fado (Portuguese folk singing)
• A championship golf course
• Bush supporters
• Palm trees
• Vineyards

Everything else we pretty much have.
