Car-Free Montague a Bust?
Was the first “summer space” Sunday on Montague Street really as underwhelming as this photo from Brooklyn Heights Blog makes it out to be? Crowds Throng Montague On First Piazza Day [BHB] ‘Summer Space’ Coming to Brooklyn Heights? [Brownstoner]

That’s just as well, 12:52, since there’s an endless market for $150 rayon t-shirts with faux-pucci patterning that look almost like the ones Old Navy has, except of course since they’re manufactured in a local sweatshop, can also help you feel good about yourself for being so socially and ecologically responsible!
i’m sorry 12:52, but what? strange…
i like the concept but not the best of weekends to use as a measure. i think it can work and i think it’s a nice relief from all that traffic (noise and pollution too) but since M st is not a major shopping destination i’m not so sure this is a necessary measure to take.Maybe on stretch of it (like clinton to henry or just henry to hicks).
as for key food: i don’t think they get shipments on sunday and if they did, they would have had the truck go up hicks. i just think it was really poor planning on their part or something is up….
I don’t sell fat clothes. You want them, you get them. I sure as hell won’t.
No fat people.
Yes, there’s a short time when shopping options on a street improve, and then in a few short years it becomes too East-Village-boutiquey, and useless to all but a certain segment (young, rich, skinny) of the population. And the time it takes from dead shopping to too twee seems to be speeding up.
Really good shoe stores on Montague, I actually prefer it as a commercial strip to Smith and Court, it’s much less twee.
“all that the scene needed was some tumbleweed”
For any performence arty people.
THIS WOULD BE AWESOME!
Rodeo Drive it wasn’t.
Closer to Fulton Mall, but less interesting.
The only things I go out of my way for on Montague are the Housing Works Thrift Shop and an occasional starch fest at Teresa’s.
My favorite part was the design within reach store put out some of its chairs -and they looked just as crappy as the one the BID had out.
