Peter Day reports from the New York City borough of Brooklyn, that used to be the city鈥檚 industrial heartland, and home to companies like the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer. Brooklyn鈥檚 manufacturing base has been in long-term decline, but now artisan start-up companies are making the borough hip again, and bringing new employment. Ironically, some are housed in the former Pfizer headquarters. Can they reverse Brooklyn鈥檚 industrial decline?
