Good morning, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

Bring an umbrella with you this afternoon, because the National Weather Service predicts showers and possible thunderstorms in the nabe today. If you happen to be out despite the rain, take some pictures and upload them to The Nabe’s Flickr group.

  • The candidates running for the 35th district seat on the City Council are meeting at a forum on hunger and poverty tonight at 352 to 358 Classon Avenue at 6 p.m. The forum is sponsored by the Food Bank for New York, a 30-year-old organization that’s one of the nation’s largest food relief programs. What questions are you going to ask the candidates, locals?
  • Looking for a new landlord? How about Chris Rock? The comedian is looking for tenants to rent his almost 5,000 square foot Clinton Hill townhouse, reported Trulia Luxe Living. For around $8,000 a month, you’ll get a two-car garage and a separate guest apartment, plus the ability to name drop your landlord at parties.
  • The Myrtle Eats Fresh farm stand is hosting a community day this Wednesday at the Ingersoll Community Center, reported Myrtle Minutes. Starting at 10 a.m., organizations such as the Greene Hill Food Co-op and the Brooklyn Food Coalition will host demonstrations and seminars about sustainable food options in the neighborhood.
