Ghost image of a sign in Downtown Brooklyn in New York on Saturday, February 7, 2015. The area has been for years a middle and lower economic shopping strip but because of increased development in the area, notably hi-rise luxury apartment buildings, chain stores and high-end retailers are moving in. Rents are rising and the smaller mom and pop stores, as well as regional chains are being forced out. (© Richard B. Levine)
