Tomorrow, a memorial is being held to remember Gowanus Lounge blogger Bob Guskind, who passionately covered Brooklyn community issues before passing away last month. The memorial, which is open to the public (please RSVP), includes, as Miss Heather tells us, "a running slide show of photographs from The Gowanus Lounge (including a fine selection of “Street Couches”!); video footage of Bob from his numerous online and television appearances; and a roster of keynote speakers including— but not limited to— Jake Dobkin, Lockhart Steele, Norman Oder and yours truly." Donations to four charities are also being accepted. The program begins at 2 p.m. at the Brooklyn Lyceum in Park Slope, 4th Avenue between Union and President Streets in Park Slope. Also, earlier this week, State Senator Daniel Squadron and Assemblywoman Joan Millman passed Resolution 1131 to honor Bob—see the video here.
