Hi all,

I am so glad to see such lively conversation on this blog. Some folks to be a bit more aggressive than others, maybe they should take one of the yoga classes at the newly renovated Y, the place is awesome!!! I am a member. As for the Fish and Chips place, it’s around the corner from me and by the store front I thought it was just another fast food place, didn’t know that it had such a widespread reputation, now I will definitely try them out for sure and let you all know. Here’s a tid bit on me, I bought my brownstone 5 years ago way before it was chic to live here, was the first “outsider” on my block but they welcomed me and I LOVE my block. I have seen a lot of changes in the area including the tenants that I choose to rent to I welcome all the changes I think they are positive, I just wish that things would move a bit faster. 2 more points and then I will go. 1 – I sure hope this credit mess won’t impact our property values and send houses into foreclosure in the area as fast as they were selling. 2 – I cannot wait for them to clean up Fulton Street it’s so loud out there and it really does not need to be.

I don’t know how to cook fish so I’m going to have to weather the slow service. You know, I don’t really mind slow service when it’s friendly. I think it’s the slow service with attitude (a combo that seems really prevalent in Brooklyn) that I can’t stand. LOL

I’ve been to this place and the food is good. My only thing is the time it took… the service was pretty dern slow although friendly. Is actually quicker to buy some (good prices at fish mkt on fulton near kingston) and fry it up at home lol!

I frequent Duncan’s on Mrytle about every other montho or so, more in the summers – I like it and the owner is trusted, by me! I just recently moved from Park Slope to Bed Stuy and happy to see that Duncan’s is taking the ride with me. I will surely try out this new Bed Stuy Duncan’s – good for you! – good for us!

I agree the focus should concentrate on bed stuy. But it’s true that this area is much bigger than the other neighborhoods, so we should try to identify which areas we come from and can contribute comments about what’s happening. We can’t all be like changeling and bike all over, so identification of where you are in the hood would be helpful.

Also is Alexa co founder of this blog, or what is her role around here?

Bree, thanks. I never remember where the dividing line between Clinton Hill and Fort Greene is. I’ve been thinking that Chez Lola and Duncan’s Market (they’re on the same block, right?) were in CH.

Sally……it is called Bedstuyblog.com for a reason. Some of the other nabes have their own blogs in which to discuss issues pertaining to their neck of the woods.Check out Brownstoner.com to get the links for the neighborhood blogs for bushwick, williamsburg, redhook,greenpoint and most neighborhoods in bklyn as well as brooklynian.com.Let Bedstuyblog continue to show the positive changes taking place in their community and be a voice for it as well.

Actually the original Duncans is in Fort Greene not Clinton Hill. That being said, couldnt they have changed the storefront and gates to make it look like a restaurant you would want to patronize when it is open? Good lord.

Historically Bed Stuy gets only negative press, so I think Changeling is trying to change some of the image of Bed Stuy with http://www.bedstuyblog.com. There are few outlets for information about the area so I think the focus of http://www.bedstuyblog.com should be Bed Stuy. Sally, did you notice how Brooklynian focuses on Brooklyn and not Queens or Manhattan?
