possible new building at 545/547 St. Marks, formerly Café Allegria.
According to Rachel at DNA info, it sounds like an investor bought the property with the intention to build on it. I assume that they hope to build on the adjacent vacant lot as well? The owner probably made a significant profit, given that he originally purchased the property for 389k.

Islanders getting voted back onto their island.
There's no shortage of opinions on whether or not a sports stadium would thrive in brownstone brooklyn. But one school of thought that I always felt was missing was around this question: How many new brooklyn transplants care about sports? And does that amount to a factor that matters.

When the Islanders moved in, I ...
