The city released its plan to rezone Downtown Brooklyn in 2004, with a thought of reversing the flow of business money leaving Manhattan for New Jersey. If you go to the area—it's not quite a coherent neighborhood—you can see that the legacy of several decades' worth of haphazard development makes for a daunting project. The buildings, most of them, seem confused, haggard; if any work is done in the offices, it’s all conducted with great discretion. The plan, focused largely on reenergizing commerce in the Fulton Mall, is more heard than seen. But one would be mistaken to claim that nothing has been done: In recent months, Steve Powers has been offering his own plan for the area. He’s been using it as the canvas for what he calls a "love letter."

This particular Love Letter covers the giant Macy's parking deck on Hoyt Street: Two external passageways have been turned into the load-bearers for the giant-size message, “EUPHORIA/IS YOU FOR ME”; the entrance’s massive and wholly uninviting lintel struggles to make amends with “I WAS NURTURED HERE.” The enormous, fungal concrete construction—just the sort Powers loves to work with—has been turned into a place where tender intimacies call out to anyone walking by. This is the third of Powers' Love Letter projects, which focus on otherwise pilloried urban areas, sprucing them up with massive murals bearing tender and bittersweet phrases like “I HAD A NICE DREAM ABOUT YOU” and “I PAID THE LIGHT BILL JUST TO SEE YOUR FACE.” The former was one of more than 30 murals that formed the first Love Letter in West Philadelphia in 2009; the latter is from the second Love Letter, done in Syracuse in 2010 on three of the city's corroding bridges.
