Looking north along Flatbush from Grand Army Plaza toward downtown Brooklyn. I think almost none of those buildings on the skyline existed a year ago.
Flatbush-Tompkins Congegational Church (Allens & Collins, with Louis Jallade, 1910). This bit of pattern-book church-making, which mixes several old-timey parts, represents a joyless but tolerable eclecticism. Note the many-faceted parish house: it longs desperately to be some quirky original bit of Dutch Colonial whatnot, onto which (the story might go) a Greek Revival church was added in the 1840s, before the construction of a throwback Neoclassical steeple. Ahhh, it's okay. Site plan's a bit weak, though.

the UNIVERSOUL CIRCUS @ prospect park... stressed and under-excersized tigers kept in cages smaller than my bathroom, pacing constantly, so your kids can smile.
