Our faithful correspondent Whitbo took notes for us at last night’s Brooklyn Heights Assocation meeting…

Marty Markowitz spoke briefly and shared some of the top Brooklyn Tourism slogans that are being considered to become our Borough’s official tag line. Here are some of the best:
- Brooklyn: The Bridge is just the beginning
- Brooklyn: It’s like an everything bagel
- Brooklyn: New York starts here
- Brooklyn: The 10th planet
- Brooklyn: In your face and in your heart

Also, in announcements about the recent progress on the Brooklyn Bridge Park, a list of the athletic facilities in the latest plan was read. Along with the requisite softball, soccer, basketball and tennis courts, there are also plans to build a seasonal skating rink under the Bridge itself and topping the list, a cricket pitch! Who’s playing cricket? And much to my chagrin, no petanque courts!

Last on the agenda: There’s a planned condo conversion for the buildng that houses the Independence Bank at Court and Atlantic (old news, I know). Two Trees Management wants to break the 50 foot height restriction in the neighborhood and the BHA is fighting it.
