Jay-Z and — Barbra Streisand — both perform at Barclays Center in Brooklyn this fall via ABC News

It’s been decades since Barbra Streisand left Brooklyn and now the time has arrived — Streisand is coming home — literally!

As a child growing up in Brooklyn, New York, Barbra says she shared a small apartment with her family. “I grew up in Williamsburg until I was 7, and that was a $40-a-month apartment,” she says. “I lived in one room with my mother, in the same bed, and my brother had a foldaway cot in the same room.”

Barbra and her family then moved to the projects, which at the time, she says she considered “hotsie totsie.”

“I remember it was $105-a-month rent,” she told Oprah in an exclusive interview.

As I reported in March, and today confirmed by ABC News, Barbra Streisand will launch her 2012 North American tour this fall at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

On Monday morning, the blogger Norman Oder of Atlantic Yards Report posted a screen grab showing the seat map listing.

No dates have been confirmed. Updates will be posted as they develop.

Did you ever think you’d read “Jay-Z” and “Barbra Streisand” in the same headline?
