		Canarsie is a provocative look at how the Democrats lost the white lower to middle class vote and how one time supporters of civil rights could resort to tactics and beliefs that once characterized the Jim Crow south.
		Canarsie originally was an Italian community with few Irish, German, and British inhabitants, eventually many white collar Jewish families began to move to the community to escape the ghettos in order to provide their children with more opportunities and a richer environment in which to grow up.
		CANARSIE does a wonderful job of explaining this type of mentality, while be bias to the writer's views only makes it to be a stronger impact upon the message he is trying to send regarding liberalism and the contradictions that lie within it.

		This was a theater in Canarsie, Brooklyn on Avenue L. I recall they used to have normal hours, then reverted to odder ones.
		The mens bathroom always hada flood at the urinals and a constant stream of putrid dis-colored vileness flowing towards the doorway.The sinks drain was stuffed with popcorn or jollyranchers, so would ultimately overflow and mix in with the urinal mess.
		The lobby, at least, of the Canarsie, looked to be somewhat impressive, even amid all that rubble and dirt; guess the auditoriums and other parts of the theatre, based on the descriptions in some of the above posts, were something less than attractive.

		I think that the author presented an accurate picture of the social fabric of Canarsie, especially the view that it was a "closed place" in the eyes of the inhabitants; that is, it was a safe haven for its inhabitants and could remain so if outsiders were kept out.
		For anyone who thinks that the people of Canarsie were nothing but small-minded, mean-spirited bigots, I'd like to remind him that this was a population of hard-working, law-abiding, tax-paying members of society who were the working backbone of New York City.
		Canarsie Pier has been wonderfully renovated and it a nice place to walk on a summer day, to see what the fishermen have in their buckets.
