By the way (and I’m cross-posting this comment on the “Park Slope Stroller Nazis” thread and on the “Monday Links” thread), the comments on the Park Slope Stroller thread have distracted attention from the other recent New York Times article on Brooklyn (and Park Slope) about Brooklyn bloggers, “Cracker Barrel 2.0.”
Granted, the existence of a large number of prolific Brooklyn bloggers is also old news, but the article mentioned our own Jon (Butler) Brownstoner, along with Park Slope’s beloved Louise Crawford of Only The Blog Knows Brooklyn, as well as Dope on the Slope, Flatbush Gardener, Big Sky Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights Blog, DumboNYC, 110 Livingston, Ditmas Park Blog, Brit in Brooklyn, Kensington Blog, Clinton Hill Blog, Gowanus Lounge, even Curbed.com, and three that were new to me, Kinetic Carnival, BushwickBK and Self-Absorbed Boomer. I’m sorry I missed the Second Annual Brooklyn Blogfest that Louise C. organized recently at the Old Stone House, but I look forward the third annual festival next year!
And thanks to all of you (as well as many not mentioned in the article, such as [in no particular order] [Son of] Planet PLG, across the park, 423smith, Daily Heights, Daily Slope, A Brooklyn Life, Brooklyn Streets (aka firstandcourt), Atlantic Yards Report, Develop Don’t Destroy, No Land Grab, Big Cities Big Boxes, Brooklyn 11211, Found in Brooklyn, McBrooklyn, Set Speed (aka onehansonplace.com), Runs Brooklyn, Brooklyn Ramblings, Old First, B61 Productions, Found in Brooklyn, Who Walk In Brooklyn, Only Coney, Callalillie and Bed-Stuy Blog, as well as lots of others I undoubtedly haven’t discovered yet) for your inspired blogging about wonderful Brooklyn! And let me also give a shout out to Design*Sponge, which is a design blog, but run by a writer in Carroll Gardens and well worth a look!
And Jon B., in putting this list together, I noticed that your site no longer has a list of links to other blogs. Shame on you! Bring them back, please!
