Cobble Hill Bike Ride TODAY!
I'm really late to the party on this one, but it's been tough to post from work and my evenings have been pretty jammed. In any case, I can't ride this year (10 year old niece to entertain this weekend!) but last year's ride was a blast.
Details from the indefatigable Dave "Paco" Abraham:
COBBLE HILL BIKE RIDE
When: November 8th, 2009, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Where: Verandah Place at Cobble Hill Park
Cost: FREE, simply rsvp to cobblehillbikeride@gmail.com.
Space is limited to 50 riders maximum. Preference will be given to those who register ahead of time, as well as Cobble Hill Association members.
The Cobble Hill Association and Brooklyn Greenway Initiative are hosting a 10-mile casual bike ride that will start at Cobble Hill Park and pass through Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, the Columbia Waterfront District, Red Hook, and Carroll Gardens then loop back to Cobble Hill.
There will be several scenic rest stops as we ride along mostly calm streets with some light vehicular traffic. Several Bike Marshals will travel alongside as well as a mechanic for any urgent bike repairs needed. It may be chilly so please dress accordingly, and know that riders should bring helmets and observe all the proper rules of the road.

Saturday: Cobble Hill Book Swap
The Cobble Hill Association is sponsoring a free Book Swap on Saturday, October 17, 2009 at the Long Island College Hospital (LICH) Sitting Park located at Henry and Pacific Streets in Cobble Hill, from 11 AM until 3 PM.
The idea for the Book Swap is simple: bring a book and get a book. LICH staff members will also be on hand to meet the community and will conduct free blood pressure screening and an asthma information table at the park. Books will also be available for sale at $1 or less. All proceeds and remainder books will be donated to the Hospital by the Cobble Hill Association.
This low-key, neighborly event is the perfect time to meet neighbors and support our local hospital, too. In case of rain, the Book Swap will be held at the same time and place the following Saturday, October 24th.
To check on rain status that day contact:
To volunteer, please contact Margaret Ablon or Judi Francis at 718.855.3982
Fun!

Cobble Hill Under Siege, Part II: "Le Chien Merde"
Compared to this monstrosity (h/t Brownstoner), the proposed "mews" at Amity & Henry is utterly non-controversial. This . . . thing rises 12 stories, dwarfing it's neighbors and creates a jarring effect on the street wall above the second floor. Click through this link to architect Chien Dao Studios for six views, including floorplans . . . the second rendering shows the full extent of the horror show.
Granted at the outset, this lot is currently vacant (formerly a parking lot) and should absolutely be developed. But this proposal is simply terrible: please, please go back to the drawing board.
