The Week That Was in Ft. Greene and Clinton Hill
A round-up of the major events that took place in the neighborhood this week
With Osama’s name largely out of the headlines, we shifted back to giving you exclusively local news again this week. From toddler Whiz Kids to major events in the neighborhood, there was a lot to talk about and we made sure you heard it here first.
On Monday, we rounded up some of the best internship opportunities in the neighborhood this summer for high school and college students. With internships in fields ranging from grant writing to production, there’s something for every interest within walking distance from your home.
