  1. I’ve been in contact with people organizing house tours in brownstone Brooklyn for a long time–the problems NeoGrec mentions are universal. It’s increasingly hard to get people willing to show their houses and there are a LOT of volunteers needed for tour day (over 100 in my neighborhood, for example).

  2. The Prospect Heights house tour will be held on Sunday, October 14. That is, IF we can find enough great houses to show AND recruit all the volunteers that are needed to make it happen. We are a small neighborhood — and an even smaller committee — so your help is critical. If you’re interested, please contact Bob Biegen at biegen@aol.com or Roz Parr at rparr@randomhouse.com. Thanks, in advance. The house tour is a real feel-good event for the PH neighborhood and beyond!

  3. I’m not sure I was entirely on point with my last ((2:06) comment. After working with neighborhood associations for many years I can get a bit testy with suggestions that “you people” should do something. However, that might not have been what anon. 1:51 meant–he/she might have merely been pleased, as am I,that Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens is having a tour. If that’s the case, I apologise.

  4. “Hating on…” must come from “Loving on…” which I used to hear all the time way back in the 80’s in Georgia. It’s Southern. I always thought it was cute. It referred to a physical display of affection, in people or animals. But maybe now it’s used for when you just like something.
