So @bmt did the reverse commute, transiting from Miramar to Brooklyn for a few days, and am now sitting in the Brooklyn Public Library main branch for the first time in over 15 years. Much is the same; the chairs aren't as comfortable; but the cafe food is distinctly improved (catered by "Four & Twenty Blackbirds" pie bakers). Lots of electric outlets for patrons' pooters. Oh, and they even still have some books!
