In case you missed anything this week, here’s a recap:

• The new cafe Lark is coming to Church Avenue in June!

• And you can meet the owners at the Church Ave Street Fair today from 12-6pm.

• At the 70th Precinct Community Council meeting, we heard crime is down 10%.

• But one of the crimes that did happen was band Lucius’ van and gear being stolen.

• Let the mayor know we need our local after-school programs to continue!

• Traffic problems on Coney Island Ave are, surprise, still bad.

• Elisa Lovelie is a lovely neighbor and singer.

• Here’s where to find the best grilled cheese sandwiches in the neighborhood.

• Still time to sign the kids up for summer camp!

• According to our incredibly unscientific poll, 8% of you are Republicans.

• And according to someone else’s poll, we drink 6.7x more coffee than other cities.

• New trees are coming to Coney Island Avenue.

• And new bike racks are already all over the place.

• Finally, please encourage William Bredbeck to continue his Ditmonster Park series!
