The Brooklyn Banks is scheduled to close this year. The legendary skate spot found in downtown Manhatten has been a mecca for skaters, and bikers alike for decades. However, reconstruction on the Brooklyn Bridge will begin this year, and will last until 2014, and in the process the area under the bridge (the banks) will also be cordoned off. No word as to whether the banks will still be intact when reconstruction finishes. Stay tuned.
