On my walk to school everyday i’ve been seeing this whole block full of empty store fronts. These stores still have the signs of their previous owners. In the windows of all these shops there are art pieces that are put out all day and all night for the community to see. On my walk today I spoke to someone working on the shops and asked what the deal with all these “abandoned” stores were. I was told that someone had bought them all because they planned on building condos. The budget was too high and they did not have enough money to build so instead they let artists put their works of art in the windows. It’s definitely very generous. Anyway they are having a block party friday May 14 in celebration of the storefronts anniversary. Come by and check it out, it’s on the corner of Duffieild st. and Willoughby st. in Downtown Brooklyn.
