Park Slope, Brooklyn is as Big as Monaco

Map data copyright Google

 Once in a while we play with Wolframalpha.com, the computational knowledge engine, to figure out something pointless.

Today's useless exercise was computing the area of different Brooklyn neighborhoods.

We started with Brooklyn Heights. Wolfram Alpha quickly figured out the neighborhood's area is 180 acres, or .28 square miles.

What's nice is W/A then goes on to give us comparisons:

- The area of Brooklyn Heights is, for example, equal to 1.2 times the total floor area of the Pentagon.

- It's also 1.7 times the total area of Vatican City.

- It is also 13 times the area of the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Nice to know!

Plugging in different Brooklyn neighborhoods, we found that Cobble Hill's area is smaller than Brooklyn Heights, at 89 acres.

But the area of Bedford-Stuyvesant, at 4.2 square miles (a whopping 2,700 acres), is equal to one eighth the area of Manhattan.

Whereas Park Slope is 639 acres, equal to one square mile or .... the area of an adult male cougar's home range! Or the total area of Monaco!

To research weird factoids or perform calculations yourself, visit Wolfram Alpha and type in an English language query, such as "area williamsburg, brooklyn, nyc."

Recycle your Christmas Tree at MulchFest in Brooklyn This Weekend

Help the environment and recycle your Christmas tree:

On Saturday, January 9, or Sunday, January 10, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., bring your tree to the Third Street entrance of Prospect Park or the Park Circle entrance at Parkside Avenue and Prospect Park Southwest, and it will be turned into environment-friendly ground cover. You can take home free mulch for your own garden.

While you wait for your mulch, you can enjoy hot chocolate, served by the Park Slope Civic Council or become a Civic Council member.

Can't make it? If you live in the area bounded by Union Street, Sixth Avenue, 15th Street, and Prospect Park West, you can leave your tree at either end of your block before 11 a.m. on Saturday and volunteers will pick it up and bring it to the 3rd Street entrance of the Park.

To volunteer, e-mail the Civic Council's Sustainability Committee, sustainability@parkslopeciviccouncil.org or come to the Third Street entrance of the Park.

MulchFest is co-sponsored by the Park Slope Civic Council in partnership with the Prospect Park Alliance, with special help from 1-800 Mr. Rubbish and U-Haul.

Park Slope: Pavilion Theater Project Hearing Tonight (Thurs., July 23)

Photo: Park Slope Civic Council

 The Park Slope Civic Council urges Park Slope residents to attend important public hearings on the Pavilion Theater project. The first hearing is before the Community Board 6 Landmarks Committee on Thursday, July 23rd at 6:00PM, which will be held at the 78th Precinct at 65 Sixth Avenue (between Dean and Bergen Streets).

The committee will make a recommendation to the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), which will receive public testimony on this project at a second public hearing on August 4th at 9:30 am at the Manhattan Municipal Building, 1 Centre Street, 9th Floor. The community's testimony at these public hearings will be a factor in the final design of the project.

The Pavilion Theater will be converted into 24 condos, a subterranean 16-car garage, and 4 movie screens. Tenants and cars will enter on the 14th Street side of the theater. The project will incorporate a new 5-story building replacing the existing one-story restaurant facing Bartel Pritchard Square.

In including these properties in the extension of the Park Slope Historic District, the LPC called the west side of Bartel Pritchard Square a formal portal into the neighborhood. The project will be a significant addition to the square, which makes it important for the community's voice to be heard at these two hearings.
