PSA r/fortgreene update, don't call it a come back

61 Upvotes

R/fortgreene was unmoderated for a few years, so I just took it over in hopes of reviving it as a place to post news and events of the surrounding area like some of the other neighborhood specific subs. I've opened up some of the restrictions for now to try and promote some activity and get things rolling, and hopefully it can stay that way.

Free Knee Scooter

2 Upvotes

A fellow Greenpointer gave me this knee scooter when I tore my Achilles, and now that I'm recovered, I'd love to pay it forward.

If anyone local is recovering from a foot or ankle injury and could use it, it's yours. Works well, and I also have a brand-new cushion that's not pictured.

Comment or DM if interested. Hope it can help someone the way it helped me!

Good places to work in the evening?

11 Upvotes

I'm having to work a lot these days and that generally involves working evenings a few days a week. As a coffee addict I sometimes go to Moka & Co. but I just find the music (and for some reason the people) are louder than any other cafe so I can't focus. Not knocking that, I just prefer a quieter place.

Are there any good places for nighttime laptop work you recommend? Could be NEAR Fort Greene.

Looking for 1bd apartment in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill

0 Upvotes

Hi all, hope this post isn't too bothersome. I'm 31M looking for a 1bed for myself in the neighborhood. I've been having a really tough time finding affordable options on StreetEasy and Craigslist. I'd make a great tenant: 200k+ income, I'm very low key at home and really value a calm quiet living space. Been in Brooklyn for 5 years now and looking for a place I can stay for a while. Please DM if you have any leads, thanks!

Horror Trivia Wednesday at Doppelganger!

As the title suggests, my friend and I will be hosting horror movie trivia tomorrow night (Wednesday 10/14) at Doppelgänger in Clinton Hill. Starts 8pm.

There will be prizes from each of tomorrow night's sponsors: tickets for Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, to tour the haunted Ridgewood Asylum, or books from Die Die Books.

We are both massive horror fans who love to spread that love at any chance we get! We did this all month long last year, and learned a lot, including that we wanted to do fewer weeks this year haha. So come on by and celebrate spooky season with us!

Big shout out to Lou's DSNY crew in BK Community District 2.

It's not an easy job keeping the industrial part of the neighborhood clean but one of the things that helps is being able to reach out directly to DSNY regarding problems and having them taken care of in 24-48 hours.

Farmer’s market produce price compared to Trader Joe’s

0 Upvotes

I love going to the farmer’s market on Saturdays, but I’m wondering if the price of the produce is generally more affordable and Trader Joes?

Obviously there is a different in quality, but I’m wondering if it is as affordable as TJ and do people solely buy all their produce from the farmer’s market? Lmk your thoughts.
