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.

Mural is quite quirky, but I wouldn’t want it (or the pawn shop itself) in my neighborhood. So understand where MM is coming from.
Don’t think this look will encourage business though. Looks like the kind of place I’d worry about ever getting ut of alive, given no windows etc.
Gotta hock my wedding band today, thanks for the tip
would such murals be precluded if this was in the landmark blocks?
That mural is amazing.
how is the mural tasteless?
offensive to babies?
who cares? i don’t know why people are/were making a big deal about this. and the mural is funny.
Oh boy.
What a smack in the face. Tasteless, tacky, and totally uncalled for. I don’t think this battle is anywhere near over.
lol… don’t ya know when you hire a local artist to paint your wall it keeps anyone else from disrespecting it by tagging it? I have to say this is funny as hell… and yes if they did it in my nabe i’d laugh too.
Seems the owner has no clue- that “mural” is tasteless beyond belief.
