What does everyone pay monthly? Hard sales tactics from the staff there. None of which are good value

Dark colored Prius on DeKalb between Washington and Waverley

Your hazard flashers have been on for hours. You might not have a battery when you try to move the car in the morning. I’m posting this Monday 28th at about 8:30 PM.

Guy who sits in front of Kofee

I haven't seen the guy (Julius) who sits in front of Kofee in a long time, does anyone know if he's still around? I'd always pass him on my way to work for years, rain or shine. Just hope he's ok and maybe resting at home.

Noise off the BQE

Hey there,

I'm looking at an apartment on Clermont about a third of the block up past the BQE. Had a friend visit and claim the noise wasn't noticeable, but wanted people's opinions on how it is living up there. Ft. Greene is my favorite neighborhood on earth but obviously dont want to slowly lose my mind.

Thank you!

Weird booming sound

Did anyone else hear the weird booming by the BQE tonight and last night around 7:50? Sounded like thunder mixed with fireworks, but doesn’t seem like it was either.

Bamboo lot on Carlton between Willoughby and DeKalb

Does anybody know the story behind it? It’s been driving me crazy for years. It’s a lot that has the green construction fencing and then an insane amount of what I’ve always assumed is bamboo growing behind it. I know bamboo is very hard to get rid of once it’s taken root but it’s a prime lot location so has always surprised me it’s never been built on. Anybody have details?

Weird liquor store

Anyone have an idea what's going on with the liquor store at the corner of Fulton and St. Felix? At this point the store is 70% empty and when it's full it has a poor selection. Its been shuttered by the city a few times since 2021 but always rises like the phoenix.

New Running Club in Downtown Brooklyn - Partnered with City Point!

Hello Everyone!

Over the past few months, I have been working with City Point to start a running club in the Downtown Brooklyn to serve the surrounding communities surrounding the neighborhood. The name of the running club is BROOKLYN RUNNING SOCIETY. I have lived around here since 2015 and have really seen the community grow. I have been a runner since 2006 and have been a run coach for the last 8 years as well.

My goal is to bring people together through running and building a community with people that not just share the passion, but also not familiar with running and want to explore new activities.

We have already brought on partnerships with Café d’Avignon and Lululemon with more partnerships to come. Currently, we are running every Saturday at 830am from City Point and would love to have anyone who wants to join to come by!

Feel free to message me with questions, also, I will answer all questions here as well. You can also find me on Instagram at Brooklyn Running Society. Please come out and support your local club

Great neighborhood and commute: My stay at Fort Greene House

I’m staying at the Fort Greene House at Outpost Club and wanted to share my impressions of the neighborhood. It’s definitely got a more family-oriented vibe and feels very safe! I have to commute into Manhattan for work and it’s within great commuting distance for my needs. I also love that it seems a little older and more mature than the artsy party vibe I get from Bushwick, but there’s still plenty to see/do within the neighborhood.

One-day tennis passes for Fort Greene courts?

Anyone have any luck purchasing one-day passes to play on tennis courts in Fort Greene (or any NYC park I guess).

Since I'm just getting back into tennis now, so late in the season, and I don't have a regular partner to play with I figured it'd make more sense to just buy one-day passes for the times I find people to play with, rather than buy a season pass just for two months, not even knowing how often or if I'll get to play.

I assumed you could buy a pass the day of since you have to sign up in-person the day of for courts in Ft Greene, but apparently you buy it online and they MAIL it to you like it's 1996. (Here's the link to the info)

Would love advice from any FG tennis players about either the one-day or season pass and how in reality they both work. Thanks so much!

Any cool neighborhood stories?

Hi! Hope this post is allowed here, I am a journalism student recently assigned to cover Fort Greene for a neighborhood news class. I love the park but I live elsewhere and I haven’t spent a ton of time in the neighborhood. I’ve been visiting a ton recently to get to know it, but I thought this might be a good place to get some story ideas. What would you like to see covered in your neighborhood?
