THE LEDE: Good Tuesday morning, Brooklyn! Today, immigrants in southern Brooklyn encounter the same discrimination they were trying to escape in their home countries, and progress on the Bedford-Union Armory lurches forward amid protests. Then, it’s been a long, dragged-out farewell to Cobble Hill’s BookCourt, while the long, dragged-out battle over the controversial shelter for homeless men in Crown Heights appears to come to an end. Finally, theDoT gives us a clue about how on earth we’re supposed to get to Manhattan from Williamsburg during the impending L shutdown, and we learn thatMeryl Streep has deep ties to Brooklyn.
