I can’t wait for Ikea’s Brooklyn store to open. When I attended Brooklyn College, way before big box stores came to Brooklyn, I commuted by train to a box store in NJ to work all day Saturday and Sunday and sometimes during the week. The smaller stores in Brooklyn at that time did not hire too many Black kids or kids that weren’t family or friends of family. 550 Jobs!This is a great opportunity for the city’s young and retired people.
Who owns the Kings Theatre? I pass there quite alot and I heard it was quite grand back in the day.
