While we haven’t seen Brooklyn Eagle mascot Eddie for a while (hopefully that rascally bird will turn up for Bastille Day this July), the paper does take a walking tour of Boerum Hill in today’s edition:
Brooklyn Eagle: Last Sunday, Joe Svehlak, a longtime neighborhood preservationist who leads many walking tours for the Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment, took a group from that organization around Boerum Hill. If there is a main street of Boerum Hill, it’s Atlantic Avenue. One of our first stops was a colorfully decorated Arab mosque and bookstore. This area, he told us, is part of a recent wave of Arab immigration. An earlier, more established wave settled a more western part of Atlantic Avenue, outside the Boerum Hill boundaries, that still is known for its Arab restaurants.
