Hang on to your hats, folks, it's the Atlantic Antic on October 4th!
Spanning from
Hicks Street to Fourth Avenue, passing through Brooklyn Heights, Cobble
Hill, and Boerum Hill in the heart of brownstone Brooklyn, the Atlantic
Antic is one of the largest street fairs in the country.
Closed to
traffic for the day, the 2009 Atlantic Antic, which this year sold out
available spaces in record time, will showcase the best of the rich
cultural, culinary, and commercial diversity along Atlantic Avenue.
You already knew that Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn Borough President, would be there. But I'm excited to tell you that Kaity Tong, anchorwoman for PIX-11 10pm News and Mr. G, meteorologist for PIX-11 10pm News will also be on hand.
Do they live in Brooklyn?
Those celebs will be main press conference for the
Atlantic Antic at 1:00p.m. on Sunday, October 4th. The Antic will take
place from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. All day for food, shopping and entertainment on the streets of Brooklyn.
You should ask Mr. Crawford if he remembers Kaity Tong getting her tv news start in the late ’70s at KPIX San Francisco and KCRA Sacramento before moving to the big leagues in NYC in the early ’80s.
I hope Mr. G can be persuaded to say, “My man Bobinski on the computer!” That runic utterance is a highlight of the evening news for us.
It’s been a while (if ever) since Kaity Tongs and Mr. G might be considered “exciting”. Nevertheless, closing Atlantic Ave to traffic sounds like a great idea.
