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.

Fire Destroys Apartment on Clarkson - Please Donate

We've all imagined the scenario. Through no fault of our own, or random carelessness, a fire breaks out in our abode. And even if we all get out alive we lose things that we can't easily replace, and we have to start all over. Most often images of these tragedies take place elsewhere - California, India, New Jersey, Greenpoint. And then it happens right across the street, and you can't turn away. Every day you think about it, and how difficult it must be. Granted there are tragedies playing out on every block in the City. But...

If you have a moment and a few bucks, please consider a gift.
