Good bye and good luck to Gabby, Brownstoner’s current managing editor and writer. Today is her last day at Brownstoner and she is leaving to  pursue a freelance career. I ran into Gabby once on Seventh Avenue and we had a really nice chat.

Gabby, we wish you the very best in your new adventure. Jonathan Butler, publisher of Brownstoner, had this to say about Gabby’s excellent work on the blog.

Gabby’s coverage of real estate and retail
development in Park Slope and Gowanus, in particular, have been second
to none and her reliability at staying on top of the news has given us
a chance to step back a little from the day-to-day grind to focus on
the larger direction of the site and related new projects like The
Flea.

And to replace Gabby, Butler has hired writer Lisa Selin Davis, who will begin as the full-time managing editor and writer on Monday. Lisa covers real estate and travel for the New York
Times, Metropolis, Interior Design and This Old House.

I met Lisa when she read excerpts from her novel, Belly, a novel set amid horse racing set in Saratoga Springs, NY, at Brooklyn Reading Works a couple of years ago.

Good Luck to both Gabby and Lisa.
