Three Story Commercial Build for Atlantic Avenue?

Those are double height commercial floors, so more like a 5-6 story
building height equivalent.

I'll be glad to see that parking lot go. Atlantic Avenue has changed
so much in the last 10 years.

A Rare, Pristine Subway Station: See It While You Can - NYTimes.com

Smith-9th Street getting some attention and runway moment from the NYT. 

"But for now, and perhaps for a limited time only, the Smith-Ninth Street station high above the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, recently reopened beneficiary of a two-year-long, $32 million renovation project, is the mass-transit portal of many New Yorkers' dreams.

So if you want to experience a fresh, pristine New York City subway station – before the tracks become covered with brake dust, trash and rat prints, and the walls and windows defaced by man and nature – you'd better get on it."

Great Clusterfooga

From mcBrooklyn:

"After theGreat GoogsMooga food fest, "Nethermead meadow is in severe distress and is in far worse condition than it was left in from the fiasco last year," parks advocate Anne-Katrin Titze told Brooklyn Magazine.

Sections of the Nethermead will be off limits for most of the summer while the meadow is reseeded."

This is the sort of event that should be taking place down at the Red Hook cruise ship terminal.
