About 100 people or so joined in on the walking tour of Crown Heights North on Sunday, starting off at St. Gregory’s Church and ending at the corner of Bedford and Dean. In between, tour guides from the Crown Heights North Association provided tour-goers with architectural and social history about the neighborhood. The afternoon ended with a tea at the Bergen Street Community Garden. Did any readers attend? What was the most interesting thing you learned on the tour?

It was fun. It was a nice day, and although we didn’t get as many people as we would have liked, we were quite proud of our first walking tour. Some people on the tour were local residents, and several said that they had never noticed certain buildings, or never knew their significance.
Next year will will make very sure we don’t coincide with Flatbush. Besides, I wanted to go to that one too! It sounded really wonderful.
We are now working on getting our house tour program together, and are looking for a rich assortment of homes to feature on first tour. Hope to see lots of Brownstoner readers on Oct. 6th.
I worked the Victorian Flatbush tour but will support my Crown Heights neighbors by attending their house tour this fall.
you cant write home because you all lived in the immediate area
I attended. It was okay. Nothing to write home about, but a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.
It was on Sunday at 1 p.m.
