Well, this just sucks. After 4.5 years, Petra (aka The Changeling) has decided to terminate Bed Stuy Blog. Guess she wants to have a life or something.
Bed Stuy Blog launched shortly after I moved into the neighborhood and about six months before I started my own blog. Petra alerted us to retail openings, events and even crime warnings. She feels the blog is no longer necessary because Bed Stuy is being represented by other blogs now in a way that it wasn’t 4.5 years ago.
I disagree, but what what are ya gonna do? Petra and her small team of writers (Where the F is MY team?) put a personal face on the blog. Posts and comments were always friendly and never snarky like you might see on other sites. The blog was a microcosm of the neighborhood. A place where everyone looks out for one another and says good morning.
Guess this site is going to have to get more neighborhoody to pick up some slack.
On a bright note, we still have Bed Stuy Patch and Bed Stuy Gateway.

Aww, this is so sweet! This post is going to make ME cry!
BTW, you know what really sucks? I a few months after I finally upgraded to a dSLR camera I pulled the plug on the blog. Now where am I going to post all my neighborhood photos? I don’t do Flickr.
That means you can’t give up the blog! Or you can always guest post here. But you should keep the sit up and the name registered!!
