Remember Richard Grayson? Funny literary guy, author of I Brake for Delmore Schwartz, And to Think that He Kissed Him on Lorimer Street and With Hitler in New York?

He’s a sometime-columnist for OTBKB and writes about Brooklyn bus rides and his high school English teacher.

Well, today he told me something interesting. Maybe he’ll write about it:

I did go to something on Sunday afternoon at Bluestockings that was kind of interesting, a meeting of planners’ reading group at which they discussed a sociology book Bargaining for Brooklyn, a study of community-based organizations in Bushwick and Williamsburg
in the late 1990s.  I didn’t write anything about it because it was
pretty academic although I will probably at least skim the book.
