I just read the story about the 7-11 coming to The Slope, and I’m very disappointed. I live around the corner, and was starting to see some exciting things happen in the area… the “green” building, Sidecar restaurant, new bagel store, etc. I was thinking that a business improvement district was really starting to happen, catering more towards local businesses, and now the 7-11 comes to town. Do we really need another chain store when there are plenty of local business that could open instead? How can I make my voice heard? Help Brownstoners!
