		<description><![CDATA[Brooklyn is a borough of bars and rumor has it, we have many other things too. Be that true or not, Brooklyn is a unique hub of distinct neighborhood taverns, each filled with its own pack of fiercely dedicated locals. It’s no surprise, then, that Brooklyn is also a borough of bartenders. In Love Your Bartender, a brand new feature on BrooklynTheBorough.com, we’ll take a look at men and women who stand out as they stand behind our Brooklyn bars. We’ll also find out where they choose to let their hair down, and let someone else pour the pints for a change.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA['Tis the season for city elections, so in advance of the September 15 primary, Brooklyn The Borough has compiled a list of incumbents and challengers in this year's contested City Council elections for Brooklyn.  There are many challengers this year, and open seats in the 33rd and 39th districts have made for heated races.  Issues surrounding sustainable development have driven many candidates out of the woodwork. The pro-development Brooklyn political machine is still alive but questions remain about whether candidates supported by the county's party boss, Assemblyman Vito Lopez, will sustain themselves despite criticism for their ties to a machine that makes the money flow from Brooklyn based business interests.  The term limits extension has also sparked a renewed political engagement in the borough.  Many candidates who had planned on running for seats that would have been open before term limits were extended have chosen to challenge incumbents that voted for the extension.  We've compiled detailed information on each race as well as fundraising totals as the candidates head into the final weekend of the campaign.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In fiscal year 2009, 311 records indicate Brooklyn had 4,042 complaints of bed bugs and 1,729 violations.  These numbers place Brooklyn first among all boroughs in number of complaints, with over 50% more complaints than the next closest borough, Manhattan.  Dr. Louis Sorkin, a bed bug expert and entomologist at the American Museum of Natural History, thinks the City should offer its residents more education on preventing the spread of these tiny terrors.  Here's the scoop on what to do if you find yourself with these unwanted house guests.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Empire State Development Corporation recently held a public hearing on the Atlantic Yards project in a New York City College of Technology auditorium on Jay Street Downtown. Both supporters and opponents of the program made strong showings, although the pro-Yards contingent -- a varied collection of Union workers along with members of ACORN or BUILD -- vastly outnumbered opponents of the plan, including many members of Develop, Don't Destroy Brooklyn. After six long years of public hearings and court fights, both camps had plenty to say about each other: supporters of the project tarring opponents as effete elites and opponents claiming supporters were either paid for their participation or naïve.  Hear from both sides after the jump. ]]></description>
