New York Times on BCL
A little love from the New York Times City Room blog:
The Brooklyn Creative League was started by Erin Carney and Neil Carlson, two stay-at-home parents who opened the 11,000-square-foot space on President Street and Fourth Avenue last April to provide a creative work space without the distractions of working in a living room. But they see their site as more than just a place to have access to services at a shared group rate.
