Boy, it’s been a news-packed past week-plus, huh? And now we potentially welcome the first winter storm of the season… Hurricane Sandy, Election Day drama, the charity of good people, light & dark, water, wind, garbage collection… That should be enough to keep BHB bursting with color on this Open Thread Wednesday. Comment away!

Mum’s the word! Or maybe not. It is, after all, Open Thread Wednesday for October 24, 2012… which also happens to be the same day in 1861 that the first Transcontinental Telegraph line was completed across the U.S., spelling the end of the Pony Express. And look at us now… using the Internets to blog with the ease of a hunt & peck and a couple clicks. So what’s on your mind today? Do tell… and comment away. (Photo: Chuck Taylor)

Last week’s “Best of the Heights” Open Thread on the ultimate spot to find solace in the neighborhood fostered enough responses to prove that folks would dare to share their favorite “private” spots. This week, we’re inquiring about a different kind of repose. A BHB reader wrote, “My wife and I are expecting our first child, and I was searching the blog for past threads on daycare. I could not find anything, other than preschool-related, so I’m wondering if you start a thread on the Best Daycare. I would love to get the opinions of our fellow neighbors.”
So there you have it: We’re now asking for your input on the Best Daycare Center In Brooklyn Heights. Please include who and where you send your kiddies in the nabe, along with the ages of your children and any other pertinent info you think would be helpful (hours, $$, activities, etc.).

On this date in 1915, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and Brooklyn Heights resident Arthur Miller was born (d: Feb. 10, 2005). He is best known for “Death of a Salesman” (1949), “The Crucible” (1953), and “A View from the Bridge” (1955/1956). As BHB readers well know, in June 1956, Miller left his first wife Mary Slattery and married Marilyn Monroe—who insisted the couple set up house in Manhattan. He probably should have stayed in Brooklyn Heights: The pair divorced in 1961.
So on this Open Thread Wednesday, what prize-winning ideas are on your agenda? Comment away! (Photo: Chuck Taylor)

Brooklyn Heights Blog’s 2012 series on the Best of the Heights this week is a suggestion from our Proprietor Homer Fink. He’d like to know your take on the Best Spot To Read the Paper, Relax, Ponder Life… and just go… aaaah.” The Promenade is an obvious choice, but we feel certain that BHB readers have numerous other precious sanctuaries for solace.
Please share where you most enjoy peaceful moments in the Heights, the time of day and/or day of the week and what makes it so special for you. Despite the natural inclination to fear that exposing your hallowed hideaway might compromise its tranquility, consider all the new neighborhood friends you might make, right?
