A Brunch In Brooklyn Starring Veronica Nunn : Nov 14, 2009

We had a lovely brunch at Puppet's Jazz Cafe in Brooklyn's Park Slope. We went to see our friend, Veronica Nunn , and her trio perform. We had a great time, enjoying the cafe's vegetarian fare and listening to Veronica deliver some wonderful jazz vocals backed by piano and bass. 

Here are some photos I took. - Matt

The 2009 PPUABA Fall Frolic - Really Rocked! : Oct 25, 2009

The Park Place Underhill Avenue Block Association (PPUABA) held its annual Fall Frolic last night.

This was a chance for neighbors to get together, to meet new friends, greet old ones, and enjoy some delicious food. It's a pot luck affair - so a wide variety of dishes was presented. 

The local public school, MS 340, on Vanderbilt Avenue, was the venue and the cafeteria was filled with young and old. and the sounds of conversations and kids having fun. It was a wonderful sight.

The night ended with a raffle and silent auction. If you missed this year's Frolic, make sure you're there next year. It was a memorable evening that brought our neighborhood together.

The 2009 Flatbush Frolic : Sep 13, 2009

On a gorgeous Fall Sunday, thousands strolled up an auto-free Cortelyou Road in the Prospect Park South section of Brooklyn. They were there to enjoy the annual Flatbush Frolic where neighbors, vendors, shops and community organizations strutted their stuff for the admiring crowds. It was a beautiful crowd: old and young, black, brown yellow and white - a diverse crowd as varied as Brooklyn itself. 

Joining the festivities were our friends Rhonda and Jim and Rhonda's son Jonathan, his wife, Carrie and their delicious baby, Max. Take a look at some photos I snapped.  - Matt
