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.

Tonight at 7:30 - Come Support the Family of Fatima Gordon

Most of you probably remember the tragedy last August of Fatima Gordon, who was the victim of a poorly aimed assassination attempt on a local group of thugs sitting in a parked car. The Q just got word from the victim's aunt that on the anniversary of her birthday, tonight September 4, friends and family are gathering in front of 80 Clarkson to remember her and march to the Pioneer grocery store in silent memory of her fateful trip on August 30, 2012. Her surviving son Chinon will be there, He's pictured. Godspeed, young man.

I didn't see this post in time or I would have attended. My thoughts are always with the family especially the son of Fatima.
