where Brookland went to get clean

The old cascade factory in BedStuy (an area recently annexed by the Fort Green concept) sits across from "24 brand new duplex apartments that I have an exclusive renter agreement on". Im told that once upon a time, a chunk of the greater Brooklyn laundry was cleaned and delivered from this and neighboring industrial buildings. In a neighborhood newly owned by hassidic jews, in the ¡SMASH! middle of WoorkLYN and Pratt stew, this block IS the old and the new.
