Atlantic Monthly is running a list of the 100 most influential Americans. Scanning it quickly, I was PISSED OFF to see only 10 women mentioned.

But the list did get me to thinking about the influential people in our midst. What defines an influential person?

So I’ve decided to create a year end list of the PARK SLOPE 100.

THE PARK SLOPE 100 will be a list of 100 interesting, creative, and dynamic people who are leaders in arts, politics, the environment, healing arts, medicine, education, commerce and other fields in the Greater Park Slope community.

WHO DO YOU THINK are the most influential people in the Greater Park Slope area? I have some  ideas but I want a fairly broad spectrum of people in a wide range of fields. They don’t have to live in Greater Park Slope, but they need to have an impact here.

PLEASE SEND NAMES (and short bios) to  louise_crawford@yahoo.com. This list will be published on OTBKB in December.

Here’s what New York Magazine on-line had to say about OTBKB’s List: The Atlantic listed the 100 most influential Americans, and not one of them represented the Greater Park Slope Community. Outrageous. [Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn]
