Just in time for Valentine's Day comes Bay Ridge, the latest book in Arcadia Publishing’s Then and Now series.
Bay Ridge, by authors Peter Scarpa and Lawrence Stelter along with the Bay Ridge Historical Society, is a love letter to the Bay Ridge community. Like the series name suggests, this beautiful book is filled with fantastic vintage and modern day images from then and now, illustrating more than 100 years of local history and reveals the transformation of Bay Ridge from farmland to a thriving multicultural community.
