Yeah, we’re very cool in Brooklyn, as you’ve heard. But when there’s a TV series shooting in a central location, we crowd the sidewalks and wait for a small glimpse of a star or any little bit of entertainment action. (They were filming Homeland and there was nothing to see!)

The police department isn’t saying why there’s no parking on Court Street and in front of the Municipal Building; they don’t have to. I like the personal, handwritten touch: Tow Away, 8 AM.

Between Shake Shack and the courthouse entrance, there’s a shortcut. Strings of lights provide atmosphere, and there are tables for outside dining.

Don’t believe it when some naysayer claims you can’t find good, fresh fruit tucked in a sidewalk scaffolding anymore.

The building by Borough Hall is being re-habbed. We’ll have to wait and see what that means. The exterior still looks the same; it’s not easy to update these old office buildings that are found in downtown Brooklyn.

Brooklyn has tourists! They are looking at a big metal sidewalk map and the buildings on Court Street. Those of us who live here full-time are not moved by the architecture; we are more concerned with the spring weather. One minute it’s hot, the next it’s chilly.

The after-work drink scene is not what it once was. Now it’s smoothies and iced coffees, which means you can have them on the go. Summer is abruptly over, cooler and darker earlier, so wear a light jacket or cardigan while you’re not getting tipsy, and (memo to self) think about taking pictures earlier in the day.

I didn’t believe it when I first heard there was a Shake Shack in Brooklyn, but it’s true. The NY Times says the Fulton Mall is going upscale. There used to be a pizza place here – if you have jury duty and want a cheap slice, you’ll have to look around.

The “DANGER Hard Hat Area” sign might be there because of the scaffolding and construction above. Or is it because of all the fast food sold inside this store?
