SMITH STREET FUN DAY SUNDAY - JUNE 22, 2014

For Visuals of Previous Years
Please visit us at www.smithstreetbk.com

Tired of the same old, same old Street Fairs??  Ours is really different.  You will find great vibes, smiling faces, and lots of unique and beautiful things you will really want to buy and take home,.  The crafters and independent designers call our event a “show”.  In their parlance that is a huge compliment. No tube socks, no sheet sets ..we promise, you will not be disappointed.  What you will see is the perfect mix of indulgences and creativity.

And the food … Smith Street is well known as a ”foodie” street with over 70 places to dine & drink.  Arrive hungry!!  What more can we say.

Our local neighborhoods of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, and Gowanus are filled with talented people.  Many of those who are musically inclined  will be entertaining you along the way -   Our Street Festival is one of the last independently produced and lovingly curated ones in the city.   

So spend some time with us from noon to 6PM and see how these Brooklyn  neighborhoods can still “Do it Right” .    8 blocks on Smith Street from Bergen to Union.   F or G to Bergen or Carroll Street.

CORD HISTORY:

With the "Protect Our Homes" petition, CORD was formed in May, 2007. This petition arose as an overwhelmingly negative response to the coming of the over-sized 360 Smith Street Development at the corner of Smith Street and Second Place (Aka Oliver House; aka 131 Second Place). This petition, which had well over three thousand signatures, led to a new zoning text amendment in summer of 2008.

To: Our Elected Officials, Community Leaders, The MTA:
(MAY, 2007)

We the undersigned Carroll Gardens homeowners and residents, are appalled by the "as of right" ruling which allows owners and developers to erect buildings in our neighborhood with no regard to the impact they will present to our quality of life and the value of our homes........
