Standing on the bus stop yesterday, a woman I chat with often noted the skeleton of one of the high-rise buildings springing up on Flatbush Avenue Extension and asked, “What’s going on in Downtown Brooklyn? Are they trying to turn it into a mini Manhattan or something?” The short answer to that question is “yes”.
Here is an interesting article that was published in the New York Post this past November.

Its a very interesting reading.
