The March/April issue of City Limits magazine is a look at how reality in today's Brooklyn matches up with the reputation that the borough has long enjoyed. The issue is also the beginning of City Limits' 35th anniversary year. Since our first issue in February 1976—where the first word of article text was "Brooklyn"—the city's most-populous borough has been a frequent focus of our news and investigations. The excerpts that follow are mere snippets of the complex stories our writers have told; if you want to read more, you can obtain these archived issues via www.citylimits.org/magazine/archive.cfm.
