Around South Blogistan – Feb. 1, 2010
Last week in this space, I waxed poetic on the awesome neighborhood blogs here in South Brooklyn. The Village Voice has decided to step into the circle and present GerritsenBeach.net the honor of being one of their 18 really super cool New York blogs. Way to go, Dan!
- Supporters and opponents of the planned mosque in Sheepshead Bay gathered at the Community Board 15 meeting at Kingsborough College. The story is complete with 15 minutes of video coverage! (GerritsenBeach.net)
- Brooklyn schools on the DOE hit list: Sheepshead Bay, FDR, John Dewey, and Grady High Schools. (GerritsenBeach.net)
- The Army Corps of Engineers will begin wetlands restoration at the Gerritsen and Mill Creeks. The project is expected to take one year to complete. (MarinePaker.net)
- Coney Island RFP-winner-in-waiting Alberto Zamperla told his hometown newspaper that the new park will be called Luna Park, named after one of Coney’s original great parks. (Amusing The Zillion – which totally scooped the entire New York press on this, by the way)
- In other Coney Island news, Joe Sitt will be putting some of his property to use after all – the John Strong freak museum will return this summer. (Amusing The Zillion)
- Yesterday, I walked past the fenced-off Leif Ericson Park on my way to meet some friends. I did not realize the significance of this until I read that a temporary classroom left here by the Bay Ridge High School years ago was finally removed. (Bay Ridge Blog)
- Brand Z on Avenue U is closing up shop. (Sheepshead Bites)
