Brooklyn Born
So after much delay and little fanfare I present to you the answer to last week's "Where am I?" question.
It's the "Plaza"! which was the name of the theater that used to be center in this photo. The Plaza theater became the Plaza Twin, which became the Flatbush Pavilion which somehow became an American Apparel store (seen below) at the intersection of Park Slope and Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
...
I thought this location was a great place to start because of how dynamic it is. The street location is Flatbush avenue at the point where Carlton Avenue sprouts headed down into Prospect Heights and Fort Green (although currently it has been unfortunately divided by attempts to build the Atlantic Yards monster which has reduced ease of travel through these neighborhoods). Park Place bisects Flatbush directly in front of the old theater going from Park Slope on one side of the intersection and entering Prospect Heights on the other, as Flatbush is the boarder between the two neighborhoods.
