Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

United States soccer fans rejoiced last night with a 2-1 victory versus Ghana in the first 2014 FIFA World Cup matchup for our men’s squad. If you missed the game, [check out our list of local bars and restaurants to watch](http://www.thenabe.me/blog/2014/06/10/watch-world-cup-neighborhood/?ref=bklyner.com) the team’s next match [on Sunday against Portugal](http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=255931/match=300186483/index.html?ref=bklyner.com#nosticky).

Here’s some local news to get your day started:

- We saw lots of locals out enjoying the summer-like weather in the nabe yesterday. Some of you [took to the sidewalks](http://instagram.com/p/pTQJcwIW-9/?ref=bklyner.com), [spying the Williamsburgh Savings Bank clock tower](http://instagram.com/p/pUC4-slvnQ/?ref=bklyner.com), [grabbing a local cup of coffee](http://instagram.com/p/pUPluIMPZE/?ref=bklyner.com) and [meeting friends for drinks at Habana Outpost](http://instagram.com/p/pTP3E4PLqU/?ref=bklyner.com). Others made it to Fort Greene Park [to look at architecture on Washington Park](http://instagram.com/p/pThmHLogdr/?ref=bklyner.com) and [make sand art with other moms in the sunshine](http://instagram.com/p/pULgB7S0Yc/?ref=bklyner.com). We’re most jealous of one local who had [a relaxing view of the blue skies from their hammock](http://instagram.com/p/pT9KQzByWb/?ref=bklyner.com).
- A wood-framed, Italianate townhouse on South Elliot Place may have sold to Matthew Barney and Björk for $1.99 million, [the New York Observer reported](http://observer.com/2014/06/bedraggled-fort-greene-townhouse-sells-for-1-99-m-to-a-the-matthew-barney/?ref=bklyner.com). The two-family home, built in 1854, is part of the Fort Greene Historic District. If the rumor turns out to be true, the stars could have scored a real gem in the nabe.
- The [fifth annual Fort Greene Park Jazz Festival](http://www.fortgreeneparkjazzfestival.com/?ref=bklyner.com) kicks off tomorrow night with a 7 p.m. performance at Long Island University Brooklyn’s Kumble Theater. The Eric Frazier Jazz review will spend the night whetting your palate for the festival, which happens 3 p.m. at Fort Greene Park on Saturdays from July 26 to Sept. 6\. General admission tickets are $15, while students and seniors get a $3 discount with ID.
