Today on Brooklyn Ink: Karaoke Night in Red Hook & More

Here are some of the stories that are up on the Ink today, Tuesday, October 28.  The Ink is the Brooklyn blog of the Columbia Journalism school.

— In our 'Featured' section, there is a story by Miranda Lin entitled, "Everyone Knows Your Song" — "During
the daytime, this 1950s-styled diner happily plays the role of quaint
family restaurant, but as the night sets in, the lights are dimmed
and the music raised. Welcome to Karaoke Night in Red Hook."

— In our new section, 'Here is Brooklyn,' Terry Baynes reports from Court Street for a piece called "Courtyard Gospel" – "Brooklyn woman brings music and cheer to benches outside the New York Supreme Court building on Court Street."


And, Christopher Alessi follows up on a murder that took place in
Brownsville on Monday afternoon in a story called "Brownsville Holds A
Vigil, And A Community Searches for Answers" — "Dozens of Brownsville residents gathered together in front
of Metropolitan Diploma Plus High School last night to pay tribute to Malachi
Cotton, the 16-year-old student who was gunned down in front of the school the
day before."
