BKLYNR, the upstart online journalistic endeavor that I love is celebrating a few milestones. They’ve already put out ten issues in just five months. Amazing for the quality of the writing, reporting, design and the ambition.

The good news is that traffic and subscriptions are on the rise. In the last issue they published an interactive map, which showed the ages of Brooklyn’s buildings. That got them mention all over the web, including. Atlantic Cities, Co.Design, and Gizmodo. They’re also turning it into a 18” by 24” poster.

In Bklynr 10, you can read about a fishing boat off the coast of Sheepshead Bay, a  traditional  Russian bath— a “banya” — out in Sea Gate, and the upcoming elections and what it means for Brooklyn.

You need to subscribe in order to read. There are two issues a month and it’s only $20 for a full year.
