FLATBUSH—A community group called Sustainable Flatbush is aiming to make this weekend a zero-waste one. Neighbors can bring leaves to be composted (a service the city no longer provides), recycle electronics, and bring compost to the Cortelyou Greenmarket. [CurbedWire Inbox]
CHELSEA—We hear from a tipster that changes are a-comin' to 309 West 23rd Street, right above Dallas BBQ. He/she writes, "Looks like the United Cerebral Palsy tenant has left and the space is being gutted...3 floors of commercial space and all of it is being torn up for renovations. I think this building is owned by the Penn South Cooperative so likely not gonna knock the building down but wondering who the new tenant(s) may be and if it will turn retail." Any guesses?
