It's been a great summer. I've already personally decided this is one for the history books in terms of the congenial weather we've had almost everyday since June.
It's also been a rough summer in terms of world events, and here at home senselessness like the murder of Eric Garner by members of the NYPD.
I've been out enjoying the former and loathing the latter so much I've found it hard to focus enough to write.
Some things I've missed are the random bouts of fireworks, (unrelated to the 4th of July), Kara Walker's "Subtlety" exhibit at the doomed Domino Sugar factory,
Things that won't be missing from this blog, the upcoming Afro Punk festival in two weeks which is shaping up to be the best ever. Views from the newest property on Eastern Parkway. A tease for Brooklyn's own Crown Heights Film Festival. A soon to be open new bar in an under served part of Crown Heights. Where I think you should place your bets for the next neighborhood to explode trend-rific (hopefully long lived Brooklynites can get in on this) And of course the now shortened West Indian Day parade.
In the meantime I came across this item about the efforts to save a community garden in Crown Heights today and I'm writing a new post to it right now.
