Wallabout Bay Beach: The Real Kings County
Either that or The (Clinton) Hills:
Posted: February 8th, 2007 | Filed under: Brooklyn[MTV] is planning to film a TV pilot called “Brooklyn” focusing on the lives of average high school students in the borough.
MTV officials were hush-hush about the show yesterday, saying they don’t comment on projects in development.
But casting calls are scheduled at Brooklyn Technical High School in Fort Greene, according to the school’s Web site.
The online blurb describes Brooklyn as a “cross between Harlem in its heyday and Paris” and touts the borough’s diversity, from Caribbean-Americans in Flatbush to hipsters in Williamsburg to “peacenik families” in Park Slope.
The borough is “the ultimate city within a city,” the announcement declares.
City Education Department officials said the project is the brainchild of a partner of hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons.
