The New Bohemians: mid-1940s

At Prospect Park in Brooklyn

I asked my mother. She says the location in Brooklyn was Prospect Park.

Please propose

How I would love to know the location, and there are obvious clues for people who know Brooklyn. So many more people view the main gallery than the member gallery (which is a shame, really -- hey, there're great photos every weekend, everybody), and that's why I'd like to ask the powers-that-be if they might consider, as is their practice, sometimes to elevate a post from the member to the main gallery, where many Brooklynites could identify the stack and the building. I would consider that a very special Shorpy Christmas present, plus it would bring aenthal's mom Arlene to a deservedly wider audience.
