I had to leave before the meeting ended due to illness, but last Wednesday was the final planning meeting of Imagine Flatbush 2030, hosted by the Municipal Art Society of NY and the Flatbush Development Corp. Establishing measurable goals and tracking methods for Flatbush’s present & future sustainability was the intended task. This is just a beginning, but a hopeful sign that this community has committed member who will work hard at making Flatbush a place where many talented young and mature people, of all walks of life, will want to stay.

Strolling with the Flatbush Gardener – Atlantic Yards Camera Club Day

Between the Blogade Luncheon at Faan and the Atlantic Yards Camera Club action, Xris from Flatbush Gardener and I got to the Bear Garden early and took the opportunity to take some local shots.

Keka, Chris (Flatbush Gardener) and Anne (Sustainable Flatbush) at Flatbush Frolic, September 16, 2007

Chris took me to visit his garden and I took these shots. Forget the names of the flowers. Such a lovely hidden world within earshot of the Coney Island Avenue din.
