Happy holidays and New Year to all our neighbors & community!

A quick Xmas Eve note to say a happy and healthy holidays (no matter your faith) and New Year to all the community of Greenwood Heights, South Park Slope, Sunset Park, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace…heck all of Bklyn (and the City for that matter) this season (and I hear there was a wee bit of snow tonight working some mojo).

We’re off for the next week-ish, so if there’s goings-on in the ‘nabe, please post to this thread, post to the CCGH newsgroup or e-mail us.

Long anticipated Greenwood Park gets great reviews (updated)

See updates at the bottom of this post (both pro and con, last updated 10/18/12).

The blogosphere is awash (well, in our area of Bklyn) with the news of the long awaited opening of Greenwood Park (7th Ave and 20th St.). (June 30, 2012)

(via Brooklyn Based)

Yelp: “Fantastic job Greenwood Park folks!  It was worth every second of the wait.”

Brooklyn Based: “Really low-key, spacious, basically the perfect addition to the nabe. Between this, Sea Witch, and Quarter Bar, South Slope is KILLING it for outdoor drinking–rad rad rad place to be for the summer!”

Brownstoner: “Greenwood Park, Greenwood Heights’ first beer garden (as far as we’re aware) opened last…”

(Updated), though some pretty “ouchy” reviews on Yelp

(Updated 07/19/12) and some nice comments via BKLYN News 12.

(Updated 10/18/12) While the beer garden has received some bad press in the Brooklyn Paper a while ago, 6 residents of properties across the street from Greenwood park showed up at CB7 on Wednesday night and told their story during public comment. Many complaints of noise, public intoxication, urination, fights, public sex and more. I guess this is something the owners need to address.
