Eve Abrams' exploration into a Brooklyn neighborhood's block party provides a chance to hear some of the interesting slice of life stories that define a neighborhood. There's a good diversity of voices here: young, old, lots of different accents and some nice, heartwarming anecdotes. Sounds like a nice place to spend an afternoon.
This piece has a distinctly summer air about it. It would fit nicely on a show about neighbors or even ethnic diversity and community. The accents give a very distinctly New York feel to it, but the issues and conflicts are applicable to any urban neighborhood, I think.
