We live in Brooklyn. We've lived here seventeen years. It was going to be the name or it was never going to be the name — there was no middle ground. We went for it. Our Brooklyn is very proud of her borough.

We've never set foot in New York. We just liked how it sounded. We knew it was a place. We liked the sound more than we cared about the geography.
— Misty, Tulsa OK, 2019
