Considering how easy it is to complain about pretty much everything about the MTA, it is always nice when something they do actually works out as planned—or in this case, ahead of schedule. Come Friday, after years of construction, the Lawrence Street and Jay Street-Borough Hall stations in Downtown Brooklyn will have new names. Well, one new name. Thanks to a new tunnel between them they will now be known as Jay Street-MetroTech with access to R, F, A and C trains. Of course this will mean new subway maps... more ›

Another explosion allegedly happened in Brooklyn last night—at Metrotech around 6:30 p.m. to be exact. Word is a transformer blew up, at which point one young lady started filming the aftermath—watch the series of events, fully narrated, go down on YouTube. At around 12 seconds in this video there seems to be another little burst: more ›

The two paramedics accused of refusing to help a pregnant woman who was having a fatal seizure have been suspended without pay. Jason Green, 32, and Melissa Jackson, 23, were suspended for allegedly telling employees in a Downtown Brooklyn café to "call 911" instead of aiding 25-year-old Eutisha Revee Rennix, who was six months pregnant when she collapsed on Dec. 9. more ›

Earlier this week an angry anonymous pamphleteer tossed thousands of anti-Obama fliers off of the Metrotech office complex in Downtown Brooklyn. It was said to be a profanity-filled poem of sorts (with an AA/BB rhyme scheme), and the Brooklyn Paper now has the full text; though reprinting it is only spreading the vitriol-filled message. Earlier this week the paper reported on the basics, saying it included the "F word" a whopping 29 times! One witness told them, “I think it’s ignorant—but this is America, so they have a right to free speech. But I don’t think they have a right to throw it in front of my store so I have to clean it up.” Another was less concerned with free speech, declaring: “That’s f—ed up. I wish I could smack the s— out of whoever did that.” So who is the culprit? Director of public safety for the Metrotech BID said, “I would say it’s a construction worker. That’s a secure building.” The developer of the building, the Clarett Group, claimed they had “not found any evidence that political fliers were dropped." See no evil, hear no evil. more ›

On Friday a new Public Art Fund-organized group show opened at MetroTech Center in downtown Brooklyn, which will remain open through September of next year. Titled Trapdoor, the outdoor installation "features new commissions by Ethan Breckenridge, Martha Friedman and Sara Greenberger Rafferty, and recent works by Francis Cape. By using or making reference to recognizable objects whose properties are exaggerated or altered in one way or another, these artists convey an overarching sense of transition or metamorphosis in works that appear to be changing appearance, moving, disappearing or melting. In each case, there is an element of the unexpected, of things appearing delightfully out of the ordinary; as if the viewer has passed through a portal and entered into some kind of conceptual wonderland." A delicious wonderland containing giant waffles. more ›
