You all are forgetting the Target at Starett City. I go there because coming from the suburbs I REFUSE to pay for parking like Atlantic Center has the gall to do... Starett City has a Bed Bath and Beyond, Babies R Us and a Home Depot as well as other things. But ONLY go first thing in the morning. Any other time it is like they are having a "everything free and it is the end of days" sale.

I have found what I think all Brownstoners would consider a Brooklyn Jewel.
Investigating a name under a table that I stumbled onto years ago, I finally found time to find the place--and what a find it was--absolutely amazing.
After owning my brownstone for six years, imagine - hand wood carving/duplication of anything, restoration, antique replicas, as well as custom made furniture detailed for your personal taste or desires. Anything you may have missing in "this old house" - they can do. Pieces of furniture made by them was also in Oprah's Magazine.
These gentlemen/owners are not youngsters by far, nevertheless are holding onto a tradition that will soon be past and forgotten. I probably would have fell to the floor if I didn't hold on. These/our Brooklyn Treasures should be held sacred to us and honored by all of us. Go See for yourself. Wanted to get this out for those getting their santuary in order for the holidays.
