Halloween is fast approaching and between our two campuses we have the annual haunted house at 313 Clinton Ave. If you caught the newscast on NY1 this week (see http://ny1.com/7-brooklyn-news-content/top_stories/108030/-carnival-of-carnage–comes-to-brooklyn) you may have recognized a few of our CHAOC residents rehearsing!
Our neighbors continue to get involved in Halloween events. Co-Op resident and owner of Still Hip, a children’s store at 283 Grand St, is hosting a Halloween block party 11am-6pm. At 5pm, another of our dwellers adds to the holiday festivities as he and the LIG band rocks and closes out the street party.
I’ve long had a vision of the Co-ops getting in on the neighborhood halloween festivities, maybe with a jack-o-lantern / pumpkin painting contest or childrens halloween parade… but for this year we can rub elbows – or wings, antennae, bones and other creepy costume appendages – with our neighbors out and about Clinton Hill.
