New York City Coun- cilmember Inez Barron says that beleaguered New York- ers deserve a “Bill of Rights” protecting them from such in- cursions. Barron, who represents Brooklyn’s District 42 (D- East New York, New Lots), has introduced two bills aimed at helping residents who have a hard time getting to their homes, parking spaces or Access-A-Rides because production compa- nies have taken over the area. Adding to residents’ frustra- tion is the perception that dif- ferent rules seem to apply in different neighborhoods, or The Greenpoint ZIP code of 11222 had the greatest number of daily film permits issued in Brooklyn last year.

They don’t know exactly what they’re getting into, but luckily we’ve been around long enough to have this good reputation of working with really talented musicians that people are going to enjoy.” Attendees buy tickets not knowing what bands are playing or where it’s being held other than the general neighborhood. Many of the parties are BYOB and run only a few hours, allowing participants to save money and plan their evenings accordingly. Events have been hosted in the Waterfront Barge Museum in Red Hook, the Brooklyn Historical Society’s Othmer Library and Kings County Distillery in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. “Brooklyn is massive,” Mitchell, a Williamsburg resident, said. “There’s just so many parts of Brooklyn that have yet to be ex- plored by people that have lived in New York all their life. The borough in general is just so diverse in every pocket. The vastness and di- versity of what Brooklyn has to offer works really, really well.” Attendees can expect a diverse lineup of artists playing folk, jazz, pop, rap, spoken word or even an all-female mariachi band. “The sky is the limit,” Mitchell said. “We’re lovers of all types of music and that’s reflective in every Sofar show that you go to.” In addition to various genres of music, Sofar also asks the musicians to tone down Sofar hosted an event in the Waterfront Barge Museum in Red Hook.

— Continued from page 10INB — You can step closer to the trees via a little walkway called Fir Path. WILLIAM M. GREVE MAUSOLEUM
You might get to the point where you’re weary of walking, no matter how fine the scenery. It would be a shame to stop strolling, though — because you’d miss William M. Greve’s mau- soleum and the tremendous cherry blossoms that hang beside it. The tomb looks like a miniature Classical tem- ple. It’s near the modern Hillside Mausoleum, which is close to the cemetery’s McDonald Av- enue boundary. Did you know Greve was a developer? As the head of a company called Realty Associates, he built hundreds of bungalows in Gerritsen Beach in the early 1920s. MINERVA, THE GODDESS OF BATTLE HILL
I should mention that Green-Wood’s gates have strict closing hours. When the exits on Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Park West are open, which is weekends and certain holidays, they’re locked up at 4 p.m. After 4 p.m., you’ll have to double back to the main entrance on Fifth Avenue and 25th Street. This time of year, the main entrance remains open until 7 p.m. One good way to get to the main entrance is to stroll on Border Avenue. After you walk for a while, turn onto Hemlock Avenue and find your way up onto Battle Hill. As of course you know, this piece of the ceme- tery is a key site of the Revolutionary War’s Battle of Brooklyn. Frederick Wellington Ruckstull sculpted Battle Hill’s magnificent statue of Minerva, goddess of war, that commemorates the battle. The most known fact about Minerva is that she lines up perfectly with the Statue of Liberty down in the harbor. Minerva raises her hand in salute to Lady Liberty in a gesture that mirrors Lady Lib- erty’s gesture of holding up her torch. If you photograph Minerva in profile, you can include nearby cherry trees in the picture. VAN NESS-PARSONS PYRAMID
As you head down Battle Avenue towards Green-Wood’s main gates, you will see other blos- soming cherry trees.
