The Apple store issue—whether we’ll get one or not—seems to be playing a major role in the borough’s collective psyche. It’s like Brooklyn needs one to feel validated. Blogs are obsessed.

The building is iconic. The building’s gorgeous, and I think it would make for a beautiful location,” said Marty.
