bob, we can’t see the photos without joining the group.
This is the URL I couldn’t post earlier for my photos of last Sunday’s PLG Arts performance of “Daydream” (a shortened kids version of Midsummer Night’s Dream) lots of kids in the audience and I doubt that their parents consider them endangered.

Choosy mother, you need a new handle. If you think Lefferts is safe, you aren’t “choosy” at all!
Brownstoner, can’t you do something to shut this b*tch up? Can’t you ban her or do something to keep her from ruining every thread on this site?
As a mom I can say that deciding what is a “safe” place for my kids is incredibly difficult and totally personal. I feel that Lefferts Manor IS safe, but I do have some concerns and I understand why some people wouldn’t pick it. That’s one of the reasons (but not the main one) that I’m looking at a range of areas. Right now we’re off to visit friends and look at houses outside of the city. Tomorrow we’ll do the Brooklyn open house circuit. Sooner or later, we’ll find the “right” house in the “right” area, and everything will click.
I see that 77 Midwood (which was featured here a week ago and which Brownstoner predicted would be sold by July 4th) is still on the market and having another open house tomorrow. So much for the master’s powers of prediction.
I am on Midwood not far from Rogers Ave. I know there are lots of kids being raised in PLG, as in every part of Brooklyn. Even so, I do not feel this neighborhood is safe enough for raising children.
Not to criticize people who do raise kids here. Many people may not have the option of moving. I am just saying that I would not do it.
Jim,
I’m curious, what street do you live on? There are LOTS of kids being raised in PLG. My own son, now 23 is an example. I wanted to link to photographs I took of a childrens’ performance by the new PLG Arts group, but its posted on their Yahoo Group which, unfortunately isn’t working right now–I’ll try to post it later–many small children in the audience (BTW, for people with children, there are performances this Sat. & Sun.and NEXT Sat. & Sun. at 11 AM in the Prospect Park Imagination playground off Ocean Ave. south of Lincoln Road).
Nothing is more boring or tired than seeing Brownstoner threads devolve into a “Lefferts Garden is dangerous!” versus “Lefferts Gardens isn’t dangerous!” flame war.
Please. Stop. It. So. F’ing. Tired.
