IKEA

Empty lot in between the ball fields and the soon to open Ikea in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The lot is completely bombed with graffiti.

such impending doom from huge lettering...

Totally. It still feels really strange. They've paved and painted some of the road in front of it to accommodate more traffic, but there's still a big community garden across the street in one direction, the ball fields in another. I really don't know what's going to happen when that thing opens.

I guess That one can hope that the IKEA soon to be opened is going to be a good thing, it may not be all doom and gloom , it is a monster of a building,that may help other business in the Red Hook area,

I think so, though I'm not convinced the neighborhood can handle the traffic.

Nice contrast of two cultures... Swedish international capitalism against American urbanism.
