Get your morning scoop on a park's sudden ground-breaking, the return of an electronic music festival, your last chance at saving Coney's soul, the aftermath in Prospect Park and an antagonized pol in today's local blog round-up.
- Ground broke in Brooklyn, but did anyone hear it? In what seemed like a hastily thrown-together photo op, a handful of pols turned out to Bushwick Inlet Park to throw some dirt at the cameras. Bloomy was there! The reports are saying Greenpoint's new soccer field might be close to becoming a reality, but others aren't so sure. [New York Sh!tty; Brooklyn 11211, Gothamist]
- The Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival is coming back this year, aiming for an electric August 8th to rock the Old American Can Factory. Hip-hop artists RJD2 and Juan MacLean will be headlining, which will help with the $25 price tag. [Brooklyn Music]
- The group trying to keep Coney Island homey issued a last call for signatures yesterday, telling bloggers that they're winding up their efforts before submitting the list to City Hall next week. Consider helping out, unless of course you imagine a Coney of steel and heartless impurity. [Amusing the Zillion]
- I hope you made all sorts of wonderful memories in Prospect Park this weekend, because you New York Patriots left an unconstitutional amount of trash! The Brooklyn Paper calls it "beyond disgusting," which could also be the name for a hip-yet-trashy new store for stylized bath products. [Brooklyn Paper]
