Pacific St Between Flatbush Ave and 3rd Ave

   

Branching off Flatbush Avenue, this block doesn't have much of an identity before 4th Avenue; it's too busy being overcrowded by a Modells and a PC Richard & Son. The Brooklyn Public Library branch on the corner is a pleasant surprise amongst all the bland square boxes.

After 4th Avenue the block begins to feel more welcoming and residential with a beautiful church standing on the corner near the Subway exit. However the remaining segment of the street doesn't quite live up to the beginning.
