Oh, how we love to get up in the morning … and rush to our computers to catch up on the latest news. Here's your fix of Brooklyn today for Friday, May 11.

Century 21: The big news — no question — is the anticipated arrival of Century 21 on Fulton Street. Beep Marty reminisced about the old days, when "every Brooklynite shopped on Fulton Street."

Not just retail: Rental apartments (around one-seventh of them so-called affordable units) will rise atop Century 21 at Albee Square. Our real-estate guru, Linda Collins, reports. http://bit.ly/IYeqKF
