This weekend Move About Myrtle is back and the weather is looking lovely (so there’s no chance of cancellation like last week!) This week there’s a schedule full of fun stuff going on which you can see on the Myrtle Minutes section of the Myrtle Ave Partnership website. But I wanted to highlight the FDNY Smokehouse which will be located on Myrtle between Vanderbuilt and Clinton. FDNY Smokehouse is a life size fire safety unit, complete with crawl spaces and safety instructions. My toddler is completely obsessed with firemen and firetrucks, so you can be sure we will be checking this out!

Also this weekend is the Carlton – Willoughby Block Association annual stoop sale taking place on Carlton Ave between Dekalb and Myrtle on Sunday. This massive stoop sale is worth checking out! Last year over 20 stoops participated so there’s lots of treasures to be found.

I’m taking the weekend off, but I wanted to remind everyone that there’s fun stuff going on in Fort Greene / Clinton Hill today and tomorrow:
Today (Sunday) from 12-6 is the first of four Move About Myrtle events of September. Check the Myrtle Ave Partnership website for more information.
Tomorrow (Monday) is the Habana Outpost Back to School Bash from 12-5. Check out my previous post to get all the info.
Also, I noticed yesterday a sign outside of Who’s Your Doggy (at Adelphi and Willoughby) saying that on Monday they will be turning 4! They will be having BBQ and Doggy fun, as well as FREE wash your own all day. So for you pet lovers out there, stop in and check it out.
Have a great weekend everyone!!
