Geez, the media parade about LIC no longer takes a rest, even as we reach the third week in August. Buttressed by a duo of local beer stories, there’s a lot brewing in our neighborhood at the moment. This includes an old stand-by: heavy leasing activity leading to quickly filling buildings. Then, we learn from a new architecture-focused blog, that our new park on the river, is in fact open, or was for a day this past weekend. Next up, a lengthy piece by the penultimate local historian, Mitch Waxman. Concluding with two different things to do locally. The first is a tour of The Cliffs LIC, being offered next week, and the next is a d-i-y eating tour through the borough. Good thing everybody else is still working hard on reporting, cause I’m certainly not.
