Downtown Brooklyn isn't only getting a Barneys, a Trader Joe's and an Urban Outfitters... it's also getting a more artistic mark of gentrification: public art. The Daily News reports that there are plans to turn an old parking lot at Hoyt and Schermerhorn Streets (rendering at right), into an art-themed park, covering up eyesores with installations. But not everyone is happy (of course)—some longtime merchants in the area are reportedly feeling squeezed out. One small business owner said, "Eventually there'll be no small stores left. They're making it harder and harder to operate a business." And about that Barneys moving in? One local said, "When I think Barneys, I think of SoHo and Chelsea and all that pretension. That's one of the things I like about living in Brooklyn, it's not pretentious." Yet!
