The New York Times and Brooklyn Public Library Present an event at the Stevan Dweck called Fort Greene and Clinton Hill — Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. It sounds interesting but I can't be there (dang) because that's the night of Hugh Crawford's opening at the Old Stone House.
But if you dare to miss Hugh's opening you can go. Just go ahead. See if I care.
WHAT:
A lively discussion about two of Brooklyn’s vibrant neighborhoods. The event will be moderated by New York Times metro reporter Andy Newman, who runs The Local, the new blog on NYTimes.com that focuses on Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
WHO:
–Brooklyn native, author and filmmaker Nelson George, whose new memoir “City Kid” recalls his life in the borough.
–DK Holland, publisher of The Hill, a 25-year-old
semiannual magazine about Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
–Carl Hancock Rux, playwright, poet, musician and author of the Obie-award winning “Talk” as well as essays about Fort Greene’s history.
–Jonathan Butler, founder of Brownstoner and co-founder of Brooklyn Flea market.

Tuesday, April 28 | 7:00 – 8:30 PM
