The Q at Parkside

(for those for whom the Parkside Q is their hometrain)

News and Nonsense from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Lefferts and environs, or more specifically a neighborhood once known as Melrose Park. Sometimes called Lefferts Gardens. Or Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. Or PLG. Or North Flatbush. Or Caledonia (west of Ocean). Or West Pigtown. Across From Park Slope. Under Crown Heights. Near Drummer's Grove. The Side of the Park With the McDonalds. Jackie Robinson Town. Home of Lefferts Manor. West Wingate. Near Kings County Hospital. Or if you're coming from the airport in taxi, maybe just Flatbush is best.

Feeling Lucky? Your Odds for This Raffle Are Pretty Darn Good

The Q is selling raffle tickets. And I WANT YOU, neighbor, to win. It's to benefit Little Miss Flatbed's school - Maple Street - so they can keep down tuition and provide scholarships. The prizes are spectacular, and your chances are in the 1 in 100 range that you'll win something for every ticket you buy. $5 each, 5 for $20.

The prizes:

1 Week international resort stay (lotsa choices)

Birthday party at BounceU

Amazon Kindle Fire tablet

4 tix to late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Gift bag from Giggle.com

To sweeten the deal, I will personally come to you wherever and deliver your tickets (Brooklyn residents only please!). Email me at Tim Thomas, tell me how many you want, and I'll set up a time to make the dropoff.

Do it for the kids. Do it for the booty. Do it because you know, deep down in your heart, that this is your lucky post. The ticket itself looks remarkably like the below:
