Coverage For Dennet Place

Oh, the mystery street behind St. Mary's! Click through for a little nugget about its most famous (local) residents! From Brooklyn Based, pictures and writing by Danielle Cyr:

"Kim Hanley, a fourth generation Dennet Place resident and member of the family that owned P.J. Hanley’s bar on Court Street for many years, said that her grandfather and her uncle John (called “the golden arm” because of his dice-throwing ability) used to play craps in the middle of the street. Cops would come from both ends of the street and raid the illegal dice game while the players ran through the hobbit doors of whatever house was closest and out the back and over the garden wall to escape."

Sounds like stories I used to hear from my great uncle about the neighborhood. Some of them coulda been contenders...
