The Day: Snow, a Community Board 2 General Meeting and Music
Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
With more snow coming tonight, according to the National Weather Service, it will be a good thing to know where your snow boots are. The snow won’t start until around midnight tonight, so you’ve still got time to find them.
If you happen to be out tonight braving the cold, make sure to grab some photos of the snowfall and upload them to our Flickr pool.
Here’s what you need to know to get started today:
- Community Board 2 is holding it’s monthly general meeting tonight at 6 p.m. in Founders Hall Auditorium at St. Francis College on 180 Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights. There’s a full agenda tonight, with several proposals by the Transportation and Public Safety Committee being presented for the board’s consideration this month. These include improvements to intersections on Fulton Street at Greene Avenue and Gates Avenue, the Clinton Hill-Bedford Stuyvesant Slow Zone, new speed humps on Classon Avenue, a recommendation that the community board support the construction of the Kent Avenue South section of the Brooklyn Greenway and the renovation of both Tillary Street and Adams Street as part of the Brooklyn Bridge Gateway project. There will also be reports by the Economic Development, Health, Land Use, Parks and Youth Committees, as well as an open session for the public to speak.
- Black Artstory Month continues tonight at the Ingersoll Community Center with a free screening of “The Wonder Year,” a film following a year in the life of rapper and producer 9th Wonder. Presented by the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership and the Act Now Foundation, screening will start at 7 p.m. at 177 Myrtle Avenue. For more information, call (718) 230-1689.
- Grab four of your friends and head on down to Putnam’s Pub and Cooker for their weekly trivia night. There’s no special theme tonight, although there will be musical cues for the aurally-inclined. The teams with the top three scores will win gift certificates to Putnam’s, so get the gang back together and head down to 419 Myrtle Avenue at 8:30 to get in on the game. For more information, call (347) 799-2382.
