As Goes the Fulton Mall, So Goes Forever 21
The news that Albee Square—the rather sad indoor mall at the center of downtown Brooklyn's outdoor Fulton Mall—is going to be razed and turned into a ginormous office/condo building is exciting, we suppose, for all those urban redevelopment reasons. But no one's talking about the issue that's really going to affect the populace for years to come. Fulton Mall just got its Forever 21! $9.90 T-shirts! $17.80 "dressy tops"! Forever 21 is what every girl who's too poor to live in Manhattan needs—and now they're going to tear it down? They'd better have a plan B at hand. As it were.
