What Could Have Been on Flatbush
The music stopped too soon for this retail complex at the corner of Flatbush and Schermerhorn (62-64 Flatbush Avenue, to be exact) to become a reality, but it’s still fun to look at.

The music stopped too soon for this retail complex at the corner of Flatbush and Schermerhorn (62-64 Flatbush Avenue, to be exact) to become a reality, but it’s still fun to look at.

Very similar to the new Flatbush Junction down by Brooklyn College. I’m shedding no tears over this not happenning
maybe this could be the new, downsized AY?
Yeah, I’m OK this didn’t come off.
Yeah, bring on the singing jumbotron dirigibles!
Don’t forget Classon.
Am I the only one grateful this mini Times Square didn’t happen? Talk about product placement. What’s next? The floating ads from Blade Runner?
