The Barclays Arena will never have my heart, but I’m getting used to it. How strange it is, though, to live in the shadow of this gigantic commercial building. And what happened to the mixed-income apartment buildings?

The behemoth now has a roof, some mirrored panels, and traffic all around. Don’t believe the NY Times, either. There isn’t NY Nets fever all around the borough.

The roof is on the Barclays Center, future home of Brooklyn’s professional basketball team. They are supposed to play next season… but in case you haven’t heard, there’s going to be a BIG parking problem. If you insist on driving, you are advised to find a parking space now.

There’s no construction going on at the Atlantic Yards project, yet it’s like a construction site. How is that? The large unsightly building in the background is home to Target and other stores.
