We’ve been quiet since our debut of [**Overheard in the Slope** back in January](/blog/neighbors/overheard-in-the-slope/), but you certainly haven’t been. If you keep your ear(s) to the ground, you’ll hear some interesting things around the neighborhood. These snippets of conversation below are just a small sampling.

*If you’ve overheard something, please let us know! Email us at [editor@bklyner.com](mailto:editor@bklyner.com). Let us know where you were, who the “cast of characters” are, and anything else you’d like to share.*

**And keep listening…**
