NEW YORK — From the Barclays Center and the ACC tournament it's about a 15-minute walk north, a little less than a mile up Fort Greene Place and across Lafayette and DeKalb Avenues, through the edge of Fort Greene Park and then, finally, a right on Auburn Place.
Gone are the places to shop or to eat, the comforts of cosmopolitan New York. Now, people walk down this street seeking hope, maybe another chance.
Their destination is a little ways down toward the corner: 39 Auburn Place. The gate is open on a gray and wet Wednesday afternoon. An old flag pole stands outside. A man walks out smoking a cigarette. Others slowly file in, where someone else is in line.
