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.

As Easy As 123 On the Park

The old Caledonian Hospital looks closer and closer to its birthing day. And what's this? The pile of debris behind it, closer to Woodruff than Parkside, looks to be ready for its big dig. I do love the image of an excavator truck perched atop a massive mound of rubble. But you gotta wonder what's in store for this hunk of real estate.

I think the original plan was for two buildings, one rental and another condo. Perhaps once they clear the rubble they'll start on the second.
