I think this is something I would be interested in, but am unsure what exactly a “house tour is” are you walking through people’s homes?
“I hope many decide to come to the Crown Heights North tour”
Count me in, MM!
love the house tours. thanks for posting the information. can’t wait to check them out!
Late spring just gets too crowded to find a date for our house tour. There is always something else going on, and other tours have established dates, so when we planned our tour, we chose the fall to make sure people would be able to come. Now there is the spring tour go round, and the fall tour circuit.
I hope many decide to come to the Crown Heights North tour this, our third year. We are eager for all to see the real Crown Heights North, in all its fall splendor.
more4less- oh g-d, NOOOoooooooo!!!! It would kill us for sure this time! It’s amazing how much work goes into these things. We need all the time we can get. 🙂
so is the crown heights north one too. can’t it be earlier?
Thanks for the list! But oh my I see the one I’m dying to go on, the Bed Stuy tour, isn’t until October. That seems like years away…how will I ever manage?
Hey, Bob, how about a package discount? Or is that just too much bookkeeping?
And you can’t even claim the hangover excuse. Where were you last night, Mr. M?
