Open House Wrap-Up: Mob Scene at 152 Dean?
We heard that the open house at 152 Dean (far left) attracted more than 50 people yesterday, certainly a bright spot among reports in recent weeks of lower foot traffic. Or maybe with the official start of Spring, the market is just preparing for its seasonal pick-up. Any other reports from the open house trenches?…

Gal,
No, you’re not dreaming. Who knows, it may actually happen!
I have to confess I’m much more articulate when I write here, than in person. The magic power of the delete button! Would that we all had one when we talk!
🙂
And Ocean Avenue, which also starts in PLG, can be the quickest route to Ditmas Park, Midwood, Homecrest, and all the way out to the ocean at Sheepshead Bay.
And Washington Avenue, which starts in PLG, is tyhe fastest way to Prospect Heights, Ft. Greene and Clinton Hill.
If the only way in or out of PLG is Flatbush, where do Bedford and Nostrand Aves. go? I agree, Flatbush is the main drag (and connection to what others consider more “acceptable” Brooklyn neighborhoods (and I agree, Fort Green is perfect, just too expensive and going to be ruined if Bruce Ratner has his way — another reason to stay where I am!), but Bedford is the longest street in all of Brooklyn, and even goes to Williamsburg…
Oh, now you know that was me at 5:42!
Well, thanks for that, CrownHeightsProud. I definitely looking forward to meeting you as well! I always enjoy your informed and thoughtful posts, but especially the ones you share on the gentrification debates. This stuff can be very hard to talk about in a way that doesn’t end up goring somebody’s ox. I’m just looking forward to the time when we will become more sensitive (me included) to realizing the power of our words in the blogosphere and work to use them more productively. Tell me I’m not dreamin’ 🙂
VERY well said, Gardens Gal. Your comments are as apropros to other neighborhoods such as Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, etc.
Still trying to get over there! All of the recent pictures have really whetted my curiosity. Worse case – the tour. I hope to meet you and Bob there, or hopefully before, if Brownstoner has another social event. Looking forward to more photos, history and stories!
I’m the one who was having the conversation about Lefferts, and I haven’t accused anyone of being anything! So, I’m not sure where the thin skinned comment came from. What I WAS doing is answering cat’s questions about how various issues are dealt with here in Lefferts. This may have been misunderstood by anonymous as an invitation to play the “my nabe is better than your’s” game, with a little “why don’t you move to the burbs” thrown in (as if anyone who reads this blog had any interest in doing that).
By the way, Mr. Anonymous. It’s OK that Lefferts Manor’s charms don’t outweigh its faults in your eyes. You’re entitled to your perspective. Relax. Breathe.
