    People are hootin and hollerin on Butler Place... We went for a walk around Grand Army and all the cars were honkin their horns... Lovely!
  • We were just out dancing on Underhill. It's so cool to hear cheering from different spots all over the neighborhood. Lots of OBAMA chants and happy sounds coming from PH tonight!

    I think there's a crowd gathering at GAP.
  • Intersection of Washington and Grand.
  • don't worry guys, I called 311 about all the noise in the streets. Hopfully they will do something about it soon.
  • ahahahahahhah @ joseph ahahahahhahahahh
  • Were they more excited about the record inflation coming up or the rampant joblessness? That couple of extra bucks at tax time isn't gonna go far after companies jack up prices on goods and cut staff to make up for the extra cost of running a business (if they don't pack up and leave altogether). And the same people dancing in the streets will be the most hurt. I hope for the best, but I fear folks are in for a rude awakening when all their prayers are not miraculously answered.

    Thank you for pointing out one of the important reasons why Obama won. When the country realized how big the problems are, his poll numbers went up, and I think this shows that people welcomed the seriousness that Obama brings to these issues.

    Obama was quite restrained in his acceptance, and the difficulties of the economy was a big subject of conversation last night at Soda.
  • this was going on all over, but the crowds in front of flatbush farm and soda were the biggest i saw. it was really great to see everyone celebrating together like that. look at the change in people's attitudes already -- its amazing!
