Out: This exit is near the intersection of Flatbush, Fulton, and Nevins. It’s pretty busy here at 5 p.m. There is a McDonald’s, office buildings, and some apartments; a fairly interesting mix. There are some big stores but plenty of smaller ones mixed in.
There are people of all types here: mostly black, but plenty of Hispanic, white, and South Asian. Again it’s not clear who lives here and who is just passing through. There are also a decent number of homeless people around. This stop gives a feel for some of the grittiness of downtown Brooklyn .
In: The layout here is two platform, four track with local and express access. There are white tile walls and green rounded columns. The station is kind of dingy, with a very small mezzanine. There are some line drawings on flat panels near the exit stairs.
