Fulton Grand Bar to Open Next Month
We almost wish a certain someone was still around to discuss this one…There’ve been rumors swirling about what’s going on behind the papered windows in the two adjoining retail spaces on Grand Avenue between Putnam Avenue and Fulton Street in Clinton Hill.

We almost wish a certain someone was still around to discuss this one…There’ve been rumors swirling about what’s going on behind the papered windows in the two adjoining retail spaces on Grand Avenue between Putnam Avenue and Fulton Street in Clinton Hill. The minutes of a recent Community Board 2 subcommittee meeting provides more details. The two spaces are being combined to create a single 34-seat bar currently referred to as Fulton Grand Bar with a full on-premise liquor license; there will also be a “limited menu” of food (and no dancing). As of last month, the owners were shooting to open some time in May. This could either be really good or really bad for what is already a volatile corner. GMAP
Cargar, I was just about to post that definition along with the definition of “planned” for you! I’M BUYING YOU A DICTIONARY FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY, MISTER!
True, Wasder, but let’s not break out the champagne until we make it past Memorial Day weekend without the annual shooting.
impromptu [ɪmˈprÉ’mptjuË]

This is my volatile corner–or at least one I have to walk past everyday. It ain’t that volatile. Are there people who have lots of time on their hands whiling around sure. But it is not like it was a few years back that is for sure.
“How about an Official “Spread Peace & Love/Welcome FGB to the Neighborhood” Brownstoner Party?”
By all means, use 10 words instead of 1.
Impromptu. There. I said it. So whip me. Please.
Well, Arkady, what EXACTLY do YOU consider an impromptu??? I’ve learned recently that PLUSAs need more than 10 or 30 or even 60 minutes notice, all of which Biff or I attempted recently with limited success. At LEAST 2-3 hours notice is, apparently, mandatory.
(But, I do love when you ladies whip me!!!)
How impromptu or unofficial can it be when the Head Cheese suggests it anyway?

what does ‘volatile corner’ mean?
it usually means there’s a huge change of getting shot in the face, jumped, knived, mugged, or robbed.
*rob*
I stand corrected! Clearly need to take my yearly PLUSA Manual refresher course.
[Pssst, Arkday, So what the heck do you call something between an ‘impromptu’ and a more formal unsanctioned B’Stoner ‘event’?]
