‘Summer Space’ Coming to Brooklyn Heights? [Brownstoner]

Yeah, those that pay market rates, the other 6,000 to 8,000 people are a mix of jehovah’s witness (they don’t contribute to the local economy) and rent stabilized and rent controlled tenants.
yep as others have said. no good shopping on montague.
Are you sure you didn’t pick up a photo of the Flea by mistake?
I live in Brooklyn Heights and wouldn’t be caught dead here on a weekend. Although, if they had done that bikini car wash, I would have changed my plans.
You guys are missing the point the whole point of this excerise was to annoy the people who live on Montague Street.
Key Food was almost empty on Sunday, I mean no food. I asked the manager and he said “we couldn’t have deliveries today”.
Not a brilliant idea.
i’ve never seen the city so dead this weekend.
i live on a north park slope block and there was one point on saturday where there were literally 5 cars parked on the entire block.
TOTAL.
what about the bad economy? i thought no one was going away?
if things are so bad, wouldn’t all these people have to sell their beach homes, the What??
People in Brooklyn Heights are rich. They are NOT in town over July 4th weekend. OR any weekend in the summer. Puh-lease.
Besides, Montague street is dead. A lot of bad sushi joints, bad Chinese joints, a lot of real estate offices, and so on. Only time I’m in the area is to walk through it.
It was kinda weird, like one of those B horror flicks where the entire population disappears and the streets are dead. I swear all that the scene needed was some tumbleweed.
