Community

Yesterday was the Annual Atlantic Antic (http://bit.ly/iedar), a fantastic street fair which showcases all of the local artisans, boutiques, restaurants, etc of Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. The Antic spans from 4th Avenue all the way into Brooklyn Heights where there is a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline. It is always amazing how many people from the community come to support this event. The diversity is quite spectacular as well including Middle Eastern belly dancers, West Indian clothiers, Cajun cuisine and local Brooklyn brews.

It is events such as this which remind us of how important our community is and the strength of its support. Regardless of the fact that this street festival occurs once each year, the interaction among community members strongly exhibits the common pride for this area which affords success from year to year.

The community strength is also beneficial for creating and maintaining great quality of life for those living within it. The Brooklyn Greenway Initiative is hosting a benefit for the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway on October 29th. This project will create a great amount of green space along the water's edge in Brooklyn. It is a great initiative and hope that others will see the benefit and come out to support it too! (http://bit.ly/HDUxq)
