A reader send me the minutes from the last Community Board 2 meeting, which covers our area. She’s summarized some items of note for us:
- Bonita has applied for sidewalk cafe permit (and got it) (so did 67 burger)
- I See Promotions is proposing a “Fort Greene Fest” music & film festival in FG park would include food tasting, jazz, gospel, rap, r&b, food vendors, film screenings (oh look – there’s a website) – but it hasn’t gotten support yet, for a lot of details listed in the minutes
- Mirror’s on Grand didn’t show up for their liquor license request (I hope they aren’t cheesy too – we like Grand 275, but when Brown Betty moved in down the street, I asked the Outpost proprietors what they thought about the competition – and they were happy for it, that the more activity on the street, the more business in the neighborhood. having said that, that stretch of grand is getting crowded
)
- There’s the big rezoning plan for the nabe – the keeping of most of the neighborhood short, and allowing taller denser buildings along Fulton, and parts of Atlantic…
Thanks, Eve!

Ooh, does that mean that big horkin’ thing on Clermont and Myrtle would have to stick to six floors? Good!
That’s quite an impressive web site for the Fort Greene fest — the organizers are presenting itself like it’s definitely going to happen. Would be interested to know more of what the opposition is about, or what’s lacking in the plans.
So what’s going into that Mirror’s place on Grand? And I heard there is something finally going into the old Health Food store on Grand, too. Any idea anyone?
Ok my most superbly chum in the whole period (His a varlet) is hysterically in amity with Gina Carano and he talks around her all age and night long. Like I would pray him but he would just start talking and I wouldn’t discover what he was saying, so how is she famed whats her job and is she fasten on or married. Like I said I would ask him but he would of went in error a story and I don’t have time as regards that so if you discern something about her it would succour me alot.
