On the claim people aren't buying in PLG, one neighbor who sold recently had about 40 couples come see his house, all young professionals mostly from Manhattan, in finance and banking and business. There is a ton of interest in PLG. So there, that's an actual true story anecdote, not a speculation from the outside looking in. — by Traditional Mod in Open House Picks: Six Months Later

Rookie Kevin Smith will start at running back in the Lions' season opener Sunday at Atlanta. But Rudi Johnson, who just joined the team this week, will contribute. "How much he'll play Sunday, I don't know," offensive coordinator Jim Colletto said today after practice. "But he can play. I don't think we're going to ask Kevin to carry the load the whole day."

Development Watch: Avalon Fort Greene from Above

When we went to the top of the Toren last week, we were able to get a bird's-eye view of the rental project that Avalon Bay is building across the street. The interesting thing to see was that the 650-unit building will be sited at the southeastern corner of the site. The L-shaped portion of the site that is composed of dirt will apparently be open space.

Streetlevel: Yoga Studio Coming to Windsor Terrace

Yogasole, a studio offering Iyengar, Ashtanga and Vinyasa styles of yoga, will open this month at 254 Windsor Place in Windsor Terrace. They'll also house a yoga shop with "eco-friendly" products. "Along with apparel, we will also be carrying high-end, exquisite handmade jewelry that is made from natural substances and is a nod to the earth from which we’ve all come. Each piece is handcrafted and unique in its assembly and appearance, and is a gift to all who wear it," writes owner Evalena Leedy. Opening should be next week sometime, and it's pronounced yoga-sol-ay, by the way.

House of the Day: 511 3rd Street

This two-family brownstone at 511 3rd Street looks reasonably priced to us at $2,400,000. It's quite big (4,100 square feet) and has plenty of old-school charm. (The window layout on the upper floors also makes for an interesting facade.) As for comps, the far-smaller brick house at 516 3rd Street just closed last month for $2,850,000. 511 3rd Street [Bellmarc] GMAP P*Shark
