#TBT
Guess where this notable corner on the border of Park Slope is? #tbt
Back in the day, the high-traffic location of this building made it very effective for advertising.
It’s unclear from the picture whether the building was just used for advertising, or whether the business also operated a store here. These days the former is true, and now the building is mainly used as a billboard (most recently by Snapchat for the VMAs coming soon at Barclays Center!). 👻
