    Sorry about that...

     I shouldn't assume that everyone knows that Fort Greene, Brooklyn is in New York City.

    We have a wonderful website at www.mmdg.org that provides a wealth of information on our programs and community resources. I encourage all applicants to check it out.

    Just to be ornery -- we have a small city called Brooklyn here in Cleveland, OH. I would have guessed NYC but ........

    I will admit to not even seeing that it was in Brooklyn.  I look for it in the subject but if not there then I skim or look at the bottom for an address.  it didn't jump out in a skim.
