My Life In Brooklyn

It couldn’t have been a more perfect day to be outside for a lengthy walk.  Seems like I have been away forever, in blog time at least.  However, Thanksgiving is over, the houseguests have returned to their respective cities and hopefully I will be able to catch up here with comments and a couple of entries.

To begin, today I grabbed another shot in the progress of the commercial building on the northeast corner of Church Avenue and Ocean Ave.  As you can see from the image, new sidewalks have been created, lots of retail space is evident, some with windows and security gates installed, others still boarded up.  It will be interesting to see what stores finally open their doors — and also interesting will be a visual on the completed structure.

The four retail windows on the left in the image appear to be one large space with a partially finished interior.  A number of months ago the New York Times published an article on retail rentals in this area, describing it as nearly 100% and of interest to larger chain stores.  So, we shall soon see what happens here.
