Crown Heights Pawn Shop is Back
Despite numerous protests against a pawn shop moving to the corner of Franklin and Park – and despite the pawn shop sign being taken down – it’s still set to open.

Despite numerous protests against a pawn shop moving to the corner of Franklin and Park – and despite the pawn shop sign being taken down – it’s still set to open. I Love Franklin Avenue points out the kicker: the shop’s named Crow Hill Jewelry, after the very group that protested it. Ouch! Also, we have no idea what to think of the mural that’s gone up to promote the place. That is one lucky baby.

BOD, I do believe you are correct!!!!!!!!
The issue is that the building is not zoned for this type of store. Changing the name from “pawn shop” to “jewelry store: we buy gold and electronics”, does not change this fact. These guys need to go back to Florida and take their long island graffiti artist cash baby with them. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait for them to open in order to shut them down, again. Total eye sore for us residents.
OMFG that is Kate Middleton’s engagement ring right there in the mural!
They should cover up the mural with Lost Dog posters.
I see the issue looking at google-maps.
This mural/store is not really on Franklin (the commercial street) but around corner on Park….and pretty much a visual assault to those living/walking down the nice residential street.
denton, I’m sure their overloaded with iPhones and iPods stolen from dumbass hipsters.
I wonder what some teenage thief thinks after he steals a hipster iPod…”Man what is this shit music?????”
No wifi but you can buy someone’s laptop that does!
What’s the big deal? There’s a pawn shop on the Cobble Hill side of Atlantic Avenue, between Henry & Clinton. Granted, there’s no mural . . .
Do they have Wi-fi????
