Back in the Day, our old neighborhood of Bay Ridge Brooklyn had more Sons and 
Daughters of Norway living there than in all of Oslo.

The streets have names like Bay Ridge Avenue, Bay Ridge Parkway, Bay Ridge 
Terrace, Bay Ridge Place, Bay Street, Ridge Avenue, Ridge Terrace, Bay Terrace 
and the like.

The local wags have always claimed those old Norwegians named them that way so 
they'd know they were on the right street when getting home from the bar.

Cheers,
