We biked past this three-sided, free-standing mural on the corner of Parkside and Ocean in Flatbush the other day and snapped a picture along the way. The mural has storefronts like Woolworth’s, Sears, and Bill’s Discount as well as what looks like older homes and local citizens. Specter, the artist who created the paintings, also known as Gabriel Reese, writes on her site that the mural illustrates “stories and memories from senior citizens in Flatbush,” and it looks like she received either cooperation or funding from the Department of Transportation and the International Studio & Curatorial Program. It’s definitely a nice addition to the wide swath of sidewalk outside the Q train station, and worth a look if you’re in the area. GMAP
