I've bought many a sneaker at the Modell's in Fulton mall. It's been there for a decade at least.

You'll be happy to know that there are Starbucks here too.

I see lots of lonely people, looking to meet other lonely people there.

I also see a lot of 20-somethings paying $4 for a cup of Joe during the day. What do these folks to for rent.

At least they're buying something. Apparently, you just stand outside of Starbucks staring at them.

I remember walking to Modell's back in the day to buy my Brooklyn Dodger's gear. Hat's were a nickle, and jersey's a dime... ah the good'ol days.

Finally I have a reason to sign the contract at BelTel!

You need as many Modell's as possible. Everytime I go to the one on Flatbush near Atlantic there are 4-5 staff behind the registers, two people waiting to pay, and still you can't get out of there.

This is a beautiful old building that's had a hideous first floor makeover. I walk by every day on my way to the subway and had been hoping they would be restoring the street level facade, but alas, no. Why 3 Models in one neighborhood? Why 4 Payless?

"i've read brownstoner's post several times now and i'm still not seeing the part where it says that this is the first modells on fulton mall ..."

Really? You mean you can't SEE this:

--> Modell's Coming to Fulton Mall More competition for the Fulton Mall sneaker stores <--

Does something "come" to a place if it's already been there?

And how can *anything* be bringing "more competition" to an area unless it was a new establishment opening there?
