Hidden underneath the looming new glass towers around Barclays Center is a small Islamic enclave. This one-block-long section of Atlantic avenue between 3rd and 4th avenues includes a mosque, multiple travel agencies, multiple restaurants, a clothing store, and a law office. As almost everything around this little enclave is either demolished or gentrified beyond recognition, this place still holds out… for now.

Here is yet another example of gentrification in Downtown Brooklyn. The above picture is of an old apartment house on Fulton Street and Flatbush Avenue and in the background, looming over it, is a huge luxury condominium complex. This stark juxtaposition of the extreme wealth gap is becoming ever more common in New York.
