Hello - this is Franklin Bruno, one of the organizers of the Poor Baby Bree/David Freeland walking tour, scheduled for this Sunday 8/28. Thank you for posting the event. This probably goes without saying, but we have POSTPONED the tour in deference to Hurricane Irene. We will reschedule as soon as possible (probably for 9/18 or 9/15). If J. Moss happens to see this and has a moment to post this information more prominently, we'd be appreciative. Thanks again!
