Comment Of The Day

Maura, the discussion here focused on there being a need for space for community recreation and sports. This is true whether you live in Mayberry or in Brooklyn. It's about community needs. Frank Verderame, r.i.p., was a native Brooklynite who was tied to his community, did a lot for it, and he had Public Place designated as exactly that, a site to be used by the community for sports and recreation. He saw the need and addressed it. This need is still here. I still remember the drawing he had made up of the baseball field that would be part of Public Place. People. Community. And you and natty, just from visiting this blog show your curiosity about the neighborhood, your community. And in writing your comments, it appears you must feel that same need to be part of the voice in this community. Whether we are in Brooklyn, or Mayberry. What's the diff? Absolutely none. Except that here in Brooklyn, we lead such compressed lives in terms of space, open space, green space, nature. Even more reason why we need Public Place to be a realization of Frank's vision. On the books, that's still what it is there for, too!
