Pardon Me for asking


Well, the rain is a real damper on my mood, but it IS Friday, isn't it ?
Great. I feel better already. And I even have a great question of the week prepared for you, dear Reader.
So won't you please, please let me know

What is your absolutely favorite block in the neighborhood
and what makes it so special?


( Yes, of course it can be your own. I like mine the best too)

I am looking forward too reading your always wonderful responses.


And if you have time to waste, look over some previous questions of the week here.

President between Smith and Hoyt is so pretty - so wide open, with all the gardens and trees. And then the block between Hoyt and Bond, as you walk down, you see so much open sky, and you can see the church spires in Park Slope. It just gives such a sense of breath to Brooklyn landscape.

My favorite block has been and always will be in my mind and heart, Dennet Place. The little block between Smith & Court, Nelson & Luqour st has an the air of a European village.

I moved onto Dennet Pl in 2000 and I was instantly welcomed not only into the neighborhood, but into families. I spent many nights with my neighbors eating dinner & playing with their children. So when I was going to get married the only place that it could be held was on Dennet Pl. The neighbors closed down the street where my wife & I were married on our stoop with 250 of our closes friends & family.

My wife and I bought an apt on Clinton st only a block away and many of the long time residents of Dennet moved away. I am still in touched with many of them who have become life long friends. We still have block party reunions now and then, but I will always cherish that little block called Dennet Place.
