Suzanne Spellen, long time CHNA Board member, began her writing career with a column on Brownstoner in its early days, as Crown Heights Proud. And that has never changed. As a regular writer for them her Nom de Plume was "Montrose Morris," her favorite historic architect in Brooklyn. Kudos to Ms. Spellen- now a well known writer and blogger. Kudos! Well deserved!
