Willoughby Street getting ready for some heavy demolition in it's near future


(Brownstoner)


This has been a long time coming. I'm really excited to see some action at these properties. The sooner buildings go up here, the better. Although, Avalon has a history of throwing these buildings up pretty quick. Look at how fast the Avalon Fort Greene went up. I blinked and there were people moving in, Quite amazing when you have the funding to get something done.

Smile, Your on Brooklyn Mobile


(Brooklyner)

"Brooklyn Mobile, which is a makeshift video camera that travels mostly through Downtown Brooklyn and uploads what it records to its Youtube Channel.

A Trolley in Downtown Brooklyn?


(Brooklyn Paper)

"The route would begin at Fulton and Adams streets, travel down Boerum Place and turn onto Atlantic Avenue towards Columbia Street. Upon reaching the Battery Tunnel on Columbia Street, the train would turn down Van Brunt Street and return on Richards Street."


I would completely support this idea.

Tio Pio Expanding

I was just informed that Tio Pio is expanding to this new location at 116 Court Street. Hopefully the fare better then the last 2 that had no luck at all with this property. Although, I must say that Tio Pio would be a great addition to Court Srteet and I can see them doing very well there.

Arby's Gone on Fulton Street

I couldn't be happier. Let's get a real restaurant in there. How many people have to move here for someone to realize that this space can have potential other that Fast Food.
