Video: Block by Block | Fort Greene
Fort Greene runs the gamut from historic brownstones on leafy streets to the booming Brooklyn Cultural District."The filmmaker Spike Lee, who grew up in Fort Greene, brought new attention to the area when he established his production company, 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, here in the 1980s. He stirred debate about the gentrification of Brooklyn neighborhoods recently when he criticized developers who venture into gritty neighborhoods and said: “You can’t discover this! We’ve been here.”"
