Crown Heights Chronicles - Howard Roberts

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Here is my first entry on the Chapter 5 Blog. It is actually a reminiscence that I published on the site AskANewYorker in 2005. It is entitled, “Crown Heights Chronicles”. It is not business related, but it does give an insight into the Brooklyn neighborhood on my childhood.

Brooklyn, around noon, on a summer day.

At first I felt sorry for the man who was hit by the subway train. Then annoyed. The police hoisted the bloodied fellow out of the station on a stretcher up to street level and into an ambulance. The requisite police investigation meant I couldn’t get into the station to take the train back to my apartment in Chelsea, and the nearest station was on Eastern Parkway, a healthy distance away. What the hell, I’ll walk.

I hoofed it up Nostrand Avenue and began to notice that what used to be a white, mostly Jewish neighborhood had morphed into Caribbean turf. Now, there were signs in the windows of fast food joints advertising Goat Roti in place of the pastrami sandwiches of my youth. The food always changes with the neighborhood.

Hey Chapter 5 - start blogging!

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

This morning at BNI, I discussed blogging. Our BNI Chapter 5 website has a blog, courtesy of Salem Global Internet (you’re on it now), which I maintain - but haven’t used until now.

So, two new initiatives:

1. I invite any chapter 5 member who wants to post an entry to send it to me, and I will post it. It could be anything related to networking in general, specific events, news about your business, Chapter 5 news, etc. No real rules at this point about what can/can’t be posted - I’m sure you will all keep it appropriate. If the chapter leadership wishes to draft any rules or guidelines at any point, everyone will be kept informed.

2. If any member wishes to set up their own blog, for business, personal, or any other use, contact me and I will be happy to guide you through the process. Just think - your name up in lights!

Email me or give me a call about it!
