Barclays Center

-- Part II to Yesterday's Post --

So after zipping past Junior's Restaurant, I made a quick stop to check out a gigantic map of Downtown Brooklyn, located on the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Dekalb Avenue.

For those familiar with this area, I am sure you are equally amazed as I am about the growth of Downtown Brooklyn over the last 15-years. Truly remarkable!

Once I finished reviewing the enormous electronic map, I took a pic of the image for my journal, and then I got back to my run. Let's go!

With the Barclays Center now just four very long city blocks away, I decided to pick up my speed, and while doing so, I looked up for a moment, and that's when I spotted the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower Clock, and the time was precisely 7 am.

A few minutes later, I was approaching the main entrance of the Barclays Center fast, and that's when I decided to jog around the arena before making my way back towards the Brooklyn Bridge to run over the East River and cruise into Manhattan.

Since it was still pretty early, there weren't too many people out, so it was nice to roam around this area without much pedestrian and automobile traffic.

With that in mind, I thought it was an ideal time to thoroughly observe the outside of the Barclays Center and learn about the upcoming events and NBA games that I might want to attend in October.

Allow me also to add, even though I grew up in #Brooklyn, I remain a die-hard #NewYork Knicks fan; however, I do have a lot of love for the Brooklyn Nets. As a result, I wouldn't mind seeing them win the National Basketball Association championship next year. Lol!

Friends, I ended up spending nearly 30-minutes in this area before finally jogging over to the Brooklyn Bridge, eventually making my way back into lower #Manhattan.

As soon as I landed in Manhattan, I made an immediate beeline to the City Hall subway station and jumped on the 4-train to get home—the end. 😊

Until we meet this upcoming Saturday again at 11 am EST, I wish you all a relaxing Sunday and a great week ahead!
