While chain stores proliferate along neighborhood main streets, a simultaneous phenomenon of storefront vacancies threatens the character of NYC’s famously vibrant street life as landlords push out small business owners, holding out for higher-paying tenants. Join Center for an Urban Future executive director Jonathan Bowles, author of Vanishing New York Jeremiah Moss, and director of economic policy at the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development Lena Afridi for a conversation at the Brooklyn Historical Society. NYxNY members will enjoy two complimentary tickets each (a $5 value per ticket).
