Brown's Place is an alley named Brown Way. The Rebecca threw me off and, initially, I thought that you were mistaken and the true name was Rosetta. Close but no cigars. Further checking showed me that Rebecca is the old name for Aiken. So, if you can find Penn and N. Aiken in Garfield, a couple blocks north and you'll see Kincaid. Brown Way is between Kincaid and Rosetta and runs east from N. Atlantic. It does not run through to N. Aiken. The info previously given to you by others regarding Lyric St is correct.
