I met the very enthusiastic Flatbush Pigeon during yesterday’s media tour at the Red Hook IKEA. Actually we met over by the buffet as I was selecting one of the many Swedish pastry offerings. She was at the Brooklyn Blogfest and it was nice to meet her and talk. Her blog covers art, culture, history, politics, current events of Brooklyn with a particular emphasis on documenting the early 3rd millennium resuscitation of Flatbush.

She’s been posting since April 2008 and has lots of great info on the blog including a great feature called Featured Brooklynite of the Week. So far she’s done: Mae West,, Francie Nolan (from a Tree Grows in Brooklyn) and filmmaker Ken Burns.

Here is her first post:

So, after being a faithful reader of several community blogs, I’ve decided to offer my own perspective about social, cultural and political life of Brooklyn in the early 3rd Millennium. Currently, I am particularly focused on the area in and around Flatbush since that is where I spend most of my time. Being that I try to keep myself up on happenings in Brooklyn, I thought I’d share them with my readers…should they ever arrive.

Caution: Anticipate periodic digressions.

Cheers,
Pigeon
