It's hipsters versus nature now in Brooklyn; according to this sign that was sent in to us, deer are running rampant in the borough. This was spotted on the corner of Lorimer and Metropolitan, and word is there is also a dinosaur crossing territory as well.
First comes gentrification (and allegedy They Might Be Giants), then come the animals. What's been crossing the streets in your neighborhood?
