Yes. I spotted 4 individuals (not together) on the street who looked like they just hopped off a plane from Minnesota and rushed to Brooklyn Industries to buy a look they read about. These people also stuck out because of what they were doing. One young, fashionable, blonde lady, wearing hip, clean (new?) clothing, was talking on a cell phone about how "cool" Brooklyn was, laid out by the N/R Train's Prospect Stop, in this tunnel on 4th Avenue. There is A LOT of bird crap and other nasty things on the sidewalk underneath this tunnel. Her butt was in direct contact with the sidewalk. My first thought was, "you're not from around here, are yea,?"

In your case, Livetotravel, if it helps you get your coffee and muffins faster, I will encourage any "new little people" to hang out in the new cool little 4th Avenue tunnel.

nothing like the ritual of making good coffee at home....avoid all that nonsense even if you have to get up a little earlier

hey there is nothing wrong with them corn fed beauties !!!!

We ARE pretty, aren't we? Don't hate us because we're beautiful, oh bitter natives!

I....think you somehow just said that everyone in Brooklyn was ugly. I'm still trying to figure it out.

People were out in droves...the Botanic Garden set a non-special event record with 18,000+ attendeed on Saturday...
