unbelievable what's happening in this part of the slope - half of the stores and restaurants on 5th between Bergen and Warren St/Prospect Pl weren't there 6 months agao... not to speak of the shops on Bergen between 5th and Flatbush...

just take a walk all the way down 5th...i did today.

not only are there the above mentioned stores, but there's something opening across from "the gate" there is an edible arrangements going in down near 5th and 10th where the quiznos subs was...there's something called "teddy's" opening up not far from this flight001 place, and that new "organic heights" place looks ready to open soon on bergen between 5th and flatbush.

and that's not even everything. soula shoe store opened recently, that canaille french bistro...literally every week i see a couple new things either opened or being worked on...

it's incredible. and lots of fun non-chain stuff which is great to see...

I love this area (and am lucky to live here)! It is changing every day and getting better all the time!
Yay Flight! Yay Organic Heights! Yay Canaille! Yay 5th Avenue!

5th is probably the best retail strip in all of Brooklyn! I really love it here and am a recent transplant from Williamsburg, we hope that the trend of retail follows in the South Slope with all the new additions we have down here. We can't wait to move into our new condo on 16th Street.

9:35 is either a broker or the sole person who actually bought into any of those crappy condo developments in the "South Slope."

let's see flight 001, soula, miriam, lobo...sounds like court/smith...brooklyn's version of chain stores...brooklyn industies...bad trend imo.

Better than Gap, Starbucks, Banana Republic and other *real* chain stores.

Hmmm.. another flight001? I guess that's good, but wtf, why do I need a second specialty luggage boutique within 10 minutes of my door? I've been going to Smith Street previously. Why make me choose!

isn't the flight 001 only like 10 minutes from here?! how many of these stores are they going to put in? i don't know about you, but i don't understand why they would put another store so close to their other one.
