Hi fellow New Yorkers,
I’m looking to rent a place on smith & Bergen in cobble hill Brooklyn. I’d love some insight into the safety of this area. Bergen st station will be my local, and with gowanus housing close I’m a bit worried about the sort of people that will be around. Also with the new jail being built on Atlantic.
Please tell me your honest thoughts/ experiences!
Volunteers who became local celebrities for their efforts to clean garbage and love locks from the iconic Brooklyn Bridge say they’re now facing pushback from cops and other city employees for their efforts to pull trash off the bridge.
In the weeks and months since The New York Groove broke the story earlier this year about volunteers cleaning plastic garbage and those odious “love locks” off the Brooklyn Bridge, bridgilantes Ellen Baum and Max Parke have been rightly hailed as local heroes, and received a frenzy of positive media attention. So naturally, the pair seem to have drawn the ire of the police.
“A couple of cops have come up to me and said someone complained,” said Parke, who regularly goes to the bridge with an angle grinder to take down the locks. “No one has been able to cite any rule or law. But one was very set on what he wanted me to do and not do, even when I was literally just using scissors to cut down trash.”

Hey neighbors! Does anyone live on Atlantic Ave between Henry and Hicks? Or nearby? How loud is it to live there? Especially above a restaurant or a bar. Thanks so much!
For those who share similar concerns as those voiced by fellow residents at last week's Community Board meeting and want to see more accountability...
This past weekend I led a Jane’s Walk through Brooklyn Heights and had a number of guests ask for a breakdown of the churches we visited. I thought this community would also enjoy that.
