CrystalCoyote+FollowL train shutdown hits Bushwick hardBushwick and Williamsburg businesses are really feeling the pain from the L train’s weekend shutdown. With no service between Lorimer and Broadway Junction until February, shops like Hive Mind Books and Harmony Bushwick Thrift Shop have seen their customer numbers drop by more than half. Even discounts and special events aren’t enough to bring people in when the main train isn’t running. Local bars are struggling too, especially with Dry January in full swing. It’s a tough stretch for everyone relying on foot traffic—here’s hoping things bounce back when the L train is back on track next month. How are you getting around, and are you still supporting your favorite spots? #Transportation #Bushwick #Williamsburg00Share

Echelon Studios is building a six-story, 355,000-square-foot complex—more than double the size of Netflix’s Johnson Ave space. What’s wild is it’s all powered by clean energy, with rooftop solar panels and green roofs. This isn’t just about movies: it’s expected to create 2,400 jobs, with special programs to help local youth break into the industry. Imagine the creative energy and opportunities this could bring to the neighborhood! How do you think this will change Bushwick’s vibe? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Bushwick00Share
