Brooklyn Today

The Lede

Happy Tuesday! Two children die in a Bushwick fire, not everyone is happy about the Dyker Heights Christmas lights, and Brooklyn artists show off their work in Queens. Plus, an altar girl accuses a Flatbush church custodian of abuse, actress Amy Poehler opens a wine store in Park Slope, and a public squash court is coming to Brooklyn Bridge Park. Finally, Andy Byford wants to make the subway faster, and Boqueria in Fort Greene is set to close.
