In the wake of last week’s shooting at the corner of Putnam and Grand Avenues, Councilmember Tish James is holding a press conference to raise awareness and, hopefully, call for more attention and crime-fighting resources for this corner of Clinton Hill. Despite decades of blatant drug dealing and violence on this corner, the 88th Precinct has either been unwilling or unable to clean it up for good. The event will be held in the triangular island formed by Grand, Putnam and Fulton at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Rain location: The Senior Citizen Center across the street at 966 Fulton Street.

Meanwhile across town, Councilmember Bill de Blasio and Assemblyman Jim Brennan host a forum at P.S. 154 tomorrow night from 5 to 7 p.m. about the recent robberies and murder in Windsor Terrace. The event takes place at PS 154, 1625 11th Avenue.
