Brownstoner, there was a great article about brooklyn’s greenest nabes in the Daily News and you chose Claire Dane’s instead?
Interesting questions raised about public art. The mural was well done- but I could see how it would make people uncomfortable. On the other hand, isn’t art supposed to evoke a reaction?
do you mean trashy-condo buyers?
So is the weak dollar wooing Eurotrash buyers.
The PS 636 story is heartening.
