I've been watching a little block since I moved to Bushwick – the intersection of Wyckoff and Starr. I've seen an antler-flavored fine dining place move in, a coffee shop come of age, a health food store open, and a local latin food joint close.
SV has some older images cached. Compare my models with the SV shots.

The store fronts with the metal awning/facade are called the Wyckoff Exchange.
You can see a neat animation of the gates in action on the architect's website.

| The building next to Northeast Kingdom has been refit. |
Using a file format known as .png I was able to make the Northeast Kingdom's distinctive sign on the corner with only one two-sided polygon. The .png supports transparency, so the areas around the support and wood are masked out.
Here's the same .png format used to make razor wire on a roof. In Photoshop, i used a threshold adjustment layer to get a selection of the wire, then masked out the sky, saved the file as a .png. That's the Northeast Kingdom in the background.
