A Cliche Continues to Grow in Brooklyn

Nylon Magazine joins the list of media outlets too lazy to come up with anything other than the "A _____ Grows in Brooklyn" template to describe the opening or expansion of a business in the borough of Kings.

The New York Times' City Room blog uses a variation of the headline today, but, to be fair, it's in relation to a story about planting a tree at the library described in Betty Smith's 1943 book.

A new Target is scheduled to open at the Flatbush Junction. Expect many "A Target Grows in Brooklyn" headlines when it does.
