As the old Independence Bank on Atlantic and Court sits empty, rumors have started to circulate that Trader Joe’s will not, in fact, open a supermarket in the building. The latest such buzz comes from a poster on the Cobble Hill Blog. The poster says that she/he works at the 14th Street TJ’s and was told by management that the store gave up on the Brooklyn location after dealings with landlord Two Trees turned sour. A representative for Two Trees, however, says the chatter is a lot of hooey, and that the store will eventually open. “The rumor is, well, just a rumor,” says the rep. No word, however, on when TJ’s is actually going to set up shop. The natives are getting restless, Joe!

Dont you people have IMs you can use and stop clogging up these boards with your inane patter? some people are actually looking for useful info or at least thoughful musings on our neighborhoods, not this stream-of-consciousness piffle. NO ONE CARES! (except your dorky little buds who seem to actually enjoy egging you on…)
