A second post for today... I find it no small coincidence that so many writers in New York, come to this neighborhood to live. Sometimes things are decidely off or even slightly dreamy out here. This seems like just the sort of thing that would happen in one of Paul Auster's books, and this is where he lives and often writes about.





The Gowanus Lounge writes and presents photos from a nine year old of the mysterious Sleeping Bride of Park Slope. A woman dressed in full wedding attire somehow mysteriously sleeps in the space above a brownstone doorway.

Updated: There's a story here at the Brooklyn Paper which was penned by someone named Beethoven Bong. Curioser and curioser.

Thanks to the wonderful Bana Abouricheh, artist, robot builder, fellow employee of misterboom and another resident of the nabe, for this.
