Looks like Citi Bike [https://www.citibikenyc.com/] may be coming into tens of millions of dollars soon — which apparently could result in more docks in our area.

9st Laundrette Cleaners
In this neighborhood, there always seems to be a pretty active rate of turnover — though some businesses manage to stick around for years, if not decades, others don’t quite make it that long. But this summer has been a sad one for several local favorites, and unfortunately, the list

trash cans
Spotted on Beverley Road between Coney Island Avenue and Stratford Road: A garbage truck filled with garbage cans. We’ve certainly heard complaints about the need for more (or fewer) trash cans [/blog/sanitation/need-a-trash-can-on-your-block-request-one-from-the-dsny] in our area before, and it’s good to know that our local Department of

friends of park slope library
You don’t have to be an adult to love your library, and 11-year-old neighbor Laura Sternbach is certainly proving that. A member of the Friends of Park Slope Library [https://www.facebook.com/FriendsofParkSlopeLibrary?fref=ts] since about May, the incoming 6th grader has organized her first fundraiser for
