In “the power of family lore”Eamon Longsigh talked about a old neighborhood callded “Irish town”. he mentioned how he got to know about this place from his grandmother who was born in Brooklyn in 1917. Even though there were places like vinegar Hill, Brooklyn nights and Navy yard existed but Irish town didn’t have any official labeling. to find out more about Irish town, Longish used other resources such as New York times, Brooklyn by name , Brooklyn Eagle .We also know from previous article those neighborhood were referred as Irish town because of the Irish immigrants. he also pointed out how the information about Irish town were lost because it was not documented.
