Does it seem like there has been a surge in violent crimes in this area lately?

And why on earth is that crackdealer and murderer "Ben" glorified on the recently restored mural on Myrtle Avenue? The ignorance of whoever painted it and whoever leaves candles beneath it pisses me off whenever I walk by it.

I honestly don't know if the benefits of living here outweigh the risks.

There is a sign on the door at Walgreens that says: "Walgreens will be opening soon. Sorry." Lame.

It seems like there are a few vacant storefronts on Myrtle in Ft Greene. It would be so great to have a bookstore in the neighborhood.

I don't like their cheesecake, but the strawberry shortcake and lemon meringue pie are very good. When we eat there (rather than just pick up some desserts to take home) we always feel like we are seriously ripped off. The food is not that good and way overpriced. I think last time I had a $12 turkey reuben (and that doesn't include fries) that was just so-so.

The Walgreens finally has stocked its shelves (as of last night).. so it has got to open soon, right?

If you see anything in the final walk-through that needs to be addressed WRITE IT DOWN (make a list) and give it to your lawyer. You should have your lawyer and the seller's lawyer sign the list.

Can anyone tell me why the enormous vacant lot between Park and Flushing at Clermont isn't a viable candidate for a new grocery store?
