The first thing we need to say about the excellent blog Found in Brooklyn is that it comes from Gowanus. Among other things, it provides some very good coverage of development issues in Gowanus and Carroll Gardens, but also gets around a lot more widely. Take, for instance, yesterday’s post, which is about a show this weekend at The Yard, on the shores of the Big G:

I do believe this may be the first time Metal will be heard loudly around the Gowanus since my neighbor “Frog” moved out of the building about 5 years ago. Frog was a brooklyn boy who would crank the tunes and wax nostalgic about the old days when his hair was long, curly and flowing and he used to hang out at “Lamour’s” in Bay Ridge.

Anyway, if you are wandering around the canal on Saturday afternoon and hear “War Pigs” or “Fairies Wear Boots” tinkling through the breeze it’s not because Frog moved back in. It’s because “The Yard” is having a barbeque and Sabbra Cadabra “The World’s GREATEST Black Sabbath Cover Band” is providing the tunage!

Found in Brooklyn is required Gowanus/Carroll Gardens reading.
