The Downtown Brooklyn Partnership is gearing up for a $15 million renovation of the Fulton Mall. According to an article by Stephen Witt in the print edition of yesterday’s Courier Life, the renovation will take two years and be performed in two phases. Phase 1 will create new public space (to be called Albee Square Plaza) in front of the entrance to the old Albee Square Mall; as part of this project, Dekalb Avenue will be closed from Bond Street to Albee Square West. The Partnership envisions this space being used for anything from performances to outdoor markets. Phase 2, which won’t start until next year, will address outdoor infrastructure like sidewalks and street furniture throughout the rest of the Fulton Mall. “The new streetscape will bring everything down to a more personal and individual level so instead of seeing a giant ugly bus shelter you will see trees, benches, plantings and the stores,” DBP’s Michael Burke told The Courier. Existing retail tenants and landlords, who have been consulted though the design process, are looking forward to the upgrades: “When we saw the plans for this we were absolutely thrilled,” said Macy’s SVP Ed Goldberg. “It will make the whole streetscape much more modern and conducive to shopping and safer.”
He’s ogling the women and thinking to himself “Yeah, if I get a wig, I can still get the chicks, like on the TV commecials”.
Yep, Benson knows how that it works 😉
You still wearing your hat?
Yep BRG – she’s coming your way!
Prodigal Son;
You’ve got it wrong. It’s the middle-aged bald guy on the bench who’s going wig shopping. He’s ogling the women and thinking to himself “Yeah, if I get a wig, I can still get the chicks, like on the TV commecials”.
Is that rendering a before shot??
I don’t see the difference than what’s there now.

Uuuum, In the rendering the first thing I saw was a bus shelter.
Woman in black tank, I hope is Snappy, oh please let that be Snappy 🙂

Fulton Mall is a success as it is. Seems like the money would be better spent revitalizing more of Fulton Street, or any other street.
Hell, Montague street could use a revamp, since it lost all its stores.
Rob-
Don’t feel too bad, women ogle me and make overt comments at me -all the time-. It made me the pervert I am today.
ugh ogling. it’s creepy how prevelant it is. im all for the right to do and say what you want but sometimes it just borders on gross. straight perverted men do it with their eyes and mouths verbally and ive noticed that old perverted gay men tend to do something weird with their tongue and make a clucking noise. it’s creepy. blech.
