The Importance of Tipping Brownstoner
In a couple of comments threads yesterday, amidst much troll-like behavior, someone complained that we focus too much on Clinton Hill.

In a couple of comments threads yesterday, amidst much troll-like behavior, someone complained that we focus too much on Clinton Hill. As another commenter replied, there are a couple of good reasons for that: The neighborhood’s incredible architectural stock and the rapid socioeconomic changes it’s undergoing. The third obvious reason is that it’s where we live so we’re that much more likely to notice a new development site or have someone pass along news to us on the street. That said, we would LOVE to be posting more on-the-ground stuff about other neighborhoods, but the only way that’s going to happen is if readers send us tips and photos. Bottom line: Instead of grousing about how your home turf doesn’t get enough virtual ink, grab the bull by the horns and send story ideas to us at brownstoner@brownstoner.com.
Mr. B
Every time I tip you off, you already know about it… but anyway, the stop-work order has been lifted on the long-vacant storefront being renovated nicely on the corner of Myrtle and Washington in … Clinton Hill! And work has resumed. Please let it be a high-quality bodgea with flowers…
And keep covering CH, please.
how is this a ways into bed stuy?
Know what’d be cool? A biweekly feature called “The Cheapest House in Brooklyn,” featuring…whatever house (not co-op or condo) that could be found through reasonably open channels at, yes, the lowest asking price in the boro (excluding foreclosure auctions). This would shut up the crowd that crows that “there’s nothing decent under a million-three” or whatever, along with the crowd that wants to puke when people say things like that. It would also introduce people to strange distant planets, like Canarsie. Unless, that is, there’s nothing decent under a million-three in Canarsie, which would itself be instructional.
Hey, do tippers get tips? [extending subtle gesture towards tip can on counter]
isn’t that house in the Stuy Heights landmarked district
$2500 square feet, three stories, and a ways into Bed Stuy? $650k is cheap?
holy crap .. full townhouses are getting cheap in bed-stuy ..
anyone check out the house at 385 lewis?

346-348 will be 8 unit new building.
And a towering 55′ tall. Would not be ok according to all the petition signers.
Of course the big pending issue in the area is the sale of the LICH bldg former Longshoreman bldg on Court St.
That is where I think they fear taller structure – as of right – of maybe 12 story.
This feedback is good, but if you really want to know what’s up with the storefront on Dean and Nevins or the property on Sackett, the best chance of it getting posted about is if you were to snap a photo of it on your way home from work and email it to us.
