What's New, Clinton Hill?

Lesterhead here. I just now got around to updating our "About" page, to explain that daily posting ended in July 2010. It's been almost a year since I left the neighborhood. The homesickness was honestly heartbreaking for a long time, but I've slowly acclimated to a new setting. (In case you were wondering, we moved to Stuyvesant Heights.)

I was visiting friends back at the CH Co-Op this afternoon and realized how much has changed - new businesses on Myrtle (a Polish food restaurant!), organic produce at the Associated on Waverly, etc. But also, how much has stayed the same - the glorious magnolias!

Would love to hear from residents and old friends - what's new in the nabe? What's changed in the last year? What blogs are you reading these days?
