Brooklyn Banks Opening 2025 Photos

Can you believe this? They destroyed LOVE Park. They are trying to destroy what’s left of EMB, but by some miracle the Brooklyn Banks have been restored damn near to their original state with the small banks on the way. This doesn’t happen. It took a ton of work and Saturday felt like a celebration of that work. Not to mention, it was Go Skate Day. —Mike Heikkila

48 Brooklyn Banks GSD 2025 Heikkila 2000Look at it one more time. This shouldn’t be here. It should be a strip mall with a Chipotle and a Five Guys. Young kids will be able to skate here without the feeling of nostalgia and make their own cool shit. That is awesome.
