Brighton Beach, once a self-sufficient Jewish neighbourhood, was renewed 20 years ago by an influx of Russian refugees. They bought out Jewish shopkeepers and now serve customers in their own style and language. Brighton Beach pulsates from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The streetscapes depict the present but they also evoke a memory of bygone days. Though people come and go, there is a comforting sameness about the place from Neil Simon’s era: the street’s long shopping area, landscapes, ocean views, beach boardwalk promenade, the El, All American Druggist Inc. However, several photo locations are much changed and have become “ History”: Mrs. Stahl’s Knishes, Brighton Beach Bath–Racquet Club, swallowed by immense new housing development sights. .
