In the City section today, there’s a piece about the small-town feel of Clinton Hill/Ft. Greene by Jennifer Bleyer (I did a double take there because the author of the Brooklyn blogging piece in the City section was Greg Beyer).

Architectural details like cornices, cast-iron columns, and brownstone sills and lintels have always spelled class in a city like New York. And now these small touches are being installed — or reinstalled — on a stretch of Myrtle Avenue in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, a once-shabby strip that was a magnet for sailors and shipbuilders during the height of activity at the nearby Brooklyn Navy Yard.
