FX television Series, Rescue Me, starring Denis Leary, filmed interior and exterior episode scenes in our district on Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Film crews lined our streets on Flatbush Avenue from Park Place to Sterling early in the morning. Some of us were lucky enough to get inside Kings Pharmacy and watch the filming. Kings Pharmacy is a long time merchant of the BID offering the best in customer care, no wonder “tommy” chose to go there for his sundries. Visit Kings Pharmacy at 357 Flatbush Avenue between Park Place and Sterling, an established pharmacy for over 60 years. Their number one goal is patient satisfaction.

COMMUNITY NOTICE
Closure of Sections of Fifth Avenue and Pacific Street
Beginning on Monday, March 8, 2010
On Monday, March 8, 2010 by 6 AM, the following streets in Brooklyn will be permanently closed:
• Fifth Avenue (between Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues)
• Pacific Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues)
• Pacific Street (between Vanderbilt and Carlton Avenues)
Local and emergency vehicle access will be maintained as needed.
These streets are being closed to accommodate the Atlantic Yards project. Northbound traffic on Fifth Avenue can use Flatbush
Avenue or Sixth Avenue to continue north; southbound traffic can use Sixth Avenue. Eastbound traffic on Pacific Street can use
Dean Street; westbound traffic can use Bergen Street.
To facilitate vehicle circulation, Sixth Avenue (between Flatbush Avenue and Pacific Street) will become two-way and the block of
Pacific Street (between Carlton and Sixth Avenues) will become one-way westbound.
These changes necessitate the removal of the Cobble Hill-bound B63 bus stop on Fifth Avenue, between Pacific Street and Atlantic
Avenue. Passengers can use existing bus stops on Fifth Avenue (at Bergen Street) and on Atlantic Avenue (at Fourth Avenue).
Please see the detour map below.
Advisory signs will be posted in advance of the closures and detour signs will be posted during the work. Traffic agents will be
assigned to facilitate the flow of traffic and pedestrians.
