Goodbye, Park Slope Patch!

Dear Park Slopers,

Today is my last day as editor of Park Slope Patch, and this is my last post.

It has been a privilege and an honor to bring news to the neighborhood for the past two years. I value each and every reader of mine; you all have kept me honest, engaged and busy. I am going to miss you guys. So, thank you for all the help, criticism, love and support.

We have shared some truly memorable moments as neighbors from seeing a dolphin trapped in the Gowanus canal, the renaming of a section of Prospect Park West to “Julian Brennan Way” after the Park Slope resident who died in Afghanistan fighting for our country as a LCpl. in the Marines, seeing the moon, Jupiter and Venus through a telescope on Ninth Street, to learning CHIPS director Denise Scaravella helped a homeless woman who lived in Fort Greene Park for six months get back on her feet.

We have been through tragedy, like the spate of sexual assaults, and triumph—the birth of Brooklyn Bike Patrol and Safe Slope. 

We have even seen a space shuttle and watched a Sixth Avenue man get sentenced to 13 years after posing as his dead mother to commit fraud. 

It’s almost safe to say that we have seen it all in Park Slope. 

Again, thank you for all the love, stories, and scoops. 

And in the words of recent Park Slope visitor, Ron Burgundy, Stay Classy, Brooklyn.
