Where the Sidewalk Vends
Pretty much every Sunday there's a table or two set up outside the Lafayette gate for local (or not-so-local) organizations to promote themselves to savvy, diverse, friendly Fleagoers like you. Everyone from wind-power companies to local upstart charter schools to daycare centers to the Brooklyn Wolverines, Fort Greene's new high-school football team, have done awareness-raising in front of the Flea, and we curate that space just as acutely as the vendors inside the market. So stop by, hear 'em out, see what's up.
This week marks the first outreach effort of the Greene Hill Food Coop, the promising new community venture that's actively seeking organizers, supporters, and members. Senor Flea, who grew up packaging tofu with Mamacita and Hermano Flea at a Boston co-op in the '70s, can't say enough good things about the potential positives of Brooklynites coming together in the name of healthy/local/yummy food. Put the co in op yo!
The Fort Greene Indie Bookstore Initiative (right) is back for a third week of spreading the word (what else?) about their concept for a new local bookshop that emerges out of community wants and needs. We're all for this kind of '60s, Jane Jacobs-y stuff, and strongly encourage you to browse their offerings if you haven't already.
OK, consider this post tabled!
