Last year, the City Council voted 46-4 to approve the School Construction Authority’s plans for a new school building on the lot of P.S. 133, or the William A. Butler School, on Baltic Street and 4th Avenue in Park Slope. The 109 year old school is currently under asbestos remediation, shrouded and hidden from site.
On a nondescript block of Lafayette Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, which was an empty lot less than a year ago, sits Habitat for Humanity’s current $6.8 million construction project of four row houses in Bed-Stuy, which received a $50,000 donation from Absolut Vodka.

There are flowers blooming everywhere we go and bikes hitting the pavement to Prospect Park so that must make it time for a new installment of Queer Interiors, featuring a lovely home or two every season for that special sneak peak urban dwellers crave.

He gave us the low down on his not-so-bachelor pad for our summer edition of Queer Interiors, so check out Jason’s eye for design – homemade or otherwise – which makes this a delicious space.
Brooklyn is full of singles getting their apartment ready for spring! One of those bachelors is 24 year-old dancer Stuart Singer. He’s a tree of a man with a taste for simple and homey things.

Our homes are often a reflection of our relationships and in this edition of Brooklyn Interiors we’ve got a real queer romance and two straight boys in a serious bromance. Both charming apartments are in Prospect Heights and offer a very zen design. Peak inside your neighbor’s homes with another installment of modern apartment porn!
In his third edition of a speech almost unheard of on a district level, Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries took on the federal government, the banking and real estate industries and the criminal justice system.
