There are lots of folks keeping tabs on the neighborhood these days. Here’s a look at some recent developments:

Sunset Park Stills has some great new shots, including blue skies from this weekend’s amazing spring days.

Sunset Parkour dished up a old-style neighborhood story, and is chronicling the seedlings sprouting up for her Sunset Park garden.

When winter was in full force, Friends of Sunset Park gave a shout-out to the guys taking on the snow like it was their job.

The Center for Family Life’s Spark! blog keeps tabs on the goings-on of their blossoming cooperative network (stay tuned for a story on on of their groups to be published soon on Sunset Park Chronicled).

The Sunset Park Blog has notes on Chinese New Year, the shuttering of Ellie’s Bar and an opportunity for some part time work. Take a look!

Dear All,

Sorry of the constant changes to the interface. I’ve been cycling through different formats, trying to figure out what best suits what I’m trying to do–keep you updated on news and provide a straightforward, clean looking site. It’s a work in progress, but I think I’m nearing completion. After more complicated arrangements, I decided the blog format offers a casual approach that can encompass hard news and local stories. I hope to add a few bells and whistles to this simple site template soon.

In the meantime, lots has been going on. In the next few days I’ll make sure to offer updates on recent news, some stories I’ve stumbled upon and some great new(ish) images from around the way.

Got a story? An update? An event? Let me know, and keep in touch.

Best,

Lisa

P.S. It seems with the most recent upgrade, I’ve lost many of my images. I’ll try to backtrack and upload them soon. The site does look a little bare… Got some great neighborhood shots? Send those along too. Don’t forget a date, some context and your name (or alias).

Several of you have written in the past to ask if Sunset Park Chronicled had a feed. Now it does.

In fact, you have several options for keeping up with the posts here. Just over to the right you may subscribe to the post and/or comments feed (—->).

For those of you who aren’t on the feed/reader train, you may opt for email updates. There are more tweaks on the horizon. Stay tuned.
