They have one of the most god-awful websites I've ever seen. Who designed this? It loads very slow, has lots of images of beads of water on glass, a few odd details of the building, then a scene of a subway stop focusing on a trash can. Yes, this definitely makes me want to buy a condo here.

To guest at 2:30: The tireshop/auto repair next door is up for sale. Corcoran has the listing for $5M. Maybe the lucky buyer can tear down the garage and build a twin to this gem, thus sandwiching in the McD's with architectural genius.

In addition to St. Ann's, the Rotunda Gallery and the Brooklyn Historical Society are on this block. Both bring in a lot of school groups. The library is just down the block. That street is usually full of kids; absolute worst spot you could imagine for this facility. This is really bad news.

Montrose, if TGIF was the ideal restaurant for that spot, why did it fail?

I think prices are dropping elsewhere, closer into Manhattan, as well. I just received a postcard in the mail from Belltel Lofts that promises 50% off closing costs through mid October.
