When Petra Symister moved from Chelsea to Bedford-Stuyvesant she lost her sense of community – but blogging cured her loneliness.
“I feel more connected to this neighborhood by blogging than I did in nine years living in Chelsea,” she said.
Symister created the Bed-Stuy Blog 14 months ago, joining a Brooklyn-based network of citizen and professional writers, photographers and videographers who leave the comfort of their computer desks to meet in person every year at the Brooklyn Blogfest.
