Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

There’s a lot going on in the neighborhood this weekend, though be sure to take an umbrella, since the National Weather Service predicts a chance of thunderstorms over the next few days. Whatever you end up doing, take pictures and remember to upload them to The Nabe’s Flickr group.
