Tweets of the week: A mini architectural tour of the borough
Plus, a glimpse of Prospect Park's turkey vultures, a ball team called the 'Jolly Young Bachelors,' and a visit to a mildly NSFW pier
Every week we at Brooklyn Magazine read the entire internet in order to curate (some of) our favorite tweets from the previous seven days. These are locally sourced, hand-crafted, organically grown, free range nuggets of wisdom and jest for the week ending March 25.

TIL that a building on Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights was once the clubhouse for a baseball team known as the Jolly Young Bachelors, who then became the Excelsiors, which is WAY less fun pic.twitter.com/aBwC9YdUR9

There were two Turkey Vultures in the Vale of Cashmere this morning. They made the strangest calls to each other which sounded sort of like a person rolling their tongue, as in “Ruffles have ridges!” 🙂 #Brooklyn #NYC pic.twitter.com/iWhabicfXl

Not my photo and idk who to give credit to on the Park Slope page — I was sent this with the caption “The guy who played the wizard in Wizard of Oz is buried in Greenwood with a “yellow brick road” of flowers leading to his grave – they’re apparently blooming now” pic.twitter.com/4Fwm1W4xbB
