Friends of St. Johns Pl is hosting a neighborhood trash cleanup this weekend, and we'd love for you to join us in keeping St Johns Pl block (between underhill and washington) beautiful.
Here are the details:
Does anyone have recommendations for gardeners/landscapers that can help our co-op redesign our current garden to be a native plant/pollinator friendly garden?

I wanted to plug Physique Swimming at CBE in Park Slope which has wonderful Adult Beginners classes and Adult Swim Drills (Intermediate). Literally not a paid ad I just want folks to know about since I was looking for a swim drills class for years and only learned about this from some random reddit comment.
The swim drills class is awesome if you lap swim or are preparing for a triathlon and want to improve your technique. Currently I'm the only one in the group class and I'm afraid they'll cancel it for low attendance.

Hey neighbors! A few of us started a volunteer crew (Friends of St. Johns Pl), and we're trying to help our stressed out street trees (some of them are being destroyed by the Emerald Ash Beetle).
We’re cleaning and mulching tree beds on St Johns Pl and would love some extra hands.
Hey neighbors!
A few of us started a new grassroots group—Friends of St. Johns Pl—to clean and green our block's streetscape. We’re hosting our summer kickoff Tree Care Day on Sunday, July 12th, and would love your help!
No experience or tools needed—we’ve got you covered. It's a great chance to meet neighbors and do something tangible for the community.
RSVP here (https://forms.gle/9kuegGbCL86zyuSs7) or check us out on Instagram "@friendsofstjohnspl". Hope to see you there! 🌳✨
I was planning on queuing super early for the Vampire Lestat show but I got an email today saying I got upgraded to priority. My friend is going to come join me after work. Would that be an issue? Are they strict in the priority queue? How many people get priority tickets? When should I show up if checkin is at 5pm if I want to be somewhere in the front few rows…
