Looking for a hobby this summer? Here's everything I found happening around Brooklyn.

Lost sentimental glasses :(
I lost a very sentimental pair of glasses between prospect and Parkside on Flatbush a few days ago when it was dumping rain... I know odds are slim but if you found glasses on the ground on Flatbush I would do a lot to get them back. DM me :)

hit & run Saturday 8/8 around 6 41 am on Rutland road between rogers and nostrand - help
This video shows their damaged white vehicle fleeing after the incident, about to turn onto nostrand ave, making a right off of Rutland. The incident was around Rutland just off the corner of rogers ave. Any help or security footage that might show their plates would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone attended The Marcy Lab School?
I’m in the process of moving states to attend The Marcy Lab School in Brooklyn NY.
Told my job, got rid of my car, found a sublet for my lease, final stretch is finding an apartment and it’s been months with no luck I feel so discouraged.
I worry if the opportunity the school offers is worth the amount of effort and hardship I’m encountering moving my entire life. Clearly I’m ready to put in every ounce of effort and dedication I can produce, has anyone attended the Software Engineering program? Is it worth moving my life around for?

Power Outages
Anyone else still having power issues? Con Ed says its my landlords fault...my landlord is blaming Con Ed....the electrician says its unfixable because its too expensive for my landlord to fix....my super says his apt has the same issues too.....my bathroom, kitchen and bedroom all have flickering lights and usually even just lights so dim theyre almost off. It's getting very agitating.
