New Neighborhood Blog: The Q at Parkside

I'd like to welcome The Q at Parkside, a blog for people "for whom the Parkside Q is their hometrain," to the Brooklyn blogging family. The blog is run by Clarkson resident Tim Thomas, who has lived in the neighborhood with his wife (and now daughter) for 7 years.

The blog has hit the ground running, with a comparison of our four neighborhood grocery stores and a review of Melany, a Dominican restaurant on Flatbush and Lenox (gmap) that I wasn't aware of (and will now be checking out). He also beat me to joking about the DNA testing ads on the dollar vans, which I obviously waited too long to poke fun at.

In addition to blogging, the Thomases started the Clarkson FlatBed block association, which apparently kicked off strong: there will be a clean-up day on June 4 and a block party in August.

Welcome aboard, Q. Don't take too much of our traffic.
