There are dozens and dozens of colorful pacifiers hanging from the branches of the trees outside this apartment building. The collection was apparently started by a former superintendent, who would often find the things lying on the ground — there are lots of babies here in Borough Park — and it's since become a neighborhood institution, with local children adding their own binkies when they finally outgrow them.
