Jonathan Adler Coming to Atlantic Avenue!
Potter-about-town Jonathan Adler (or, as his new signage puts it, “your 24-hour pot dealer”) is bringing his trendy mix of lamps, plates and home furnishings to 378 Atlantic Avenue between Hoyt and Bond Streets. The sign in the window confirms the teaser that’s been on his website. Excited? GMAP

“I get irritated.”
“It must be because they hit a nerve.”
“Ooops. I showed my hand.”
Hmmm…. a hypocrite AND a poor speller!
I traveled the world and yet I am still dumb enough to sleep with a co-worker when I was married and post it here on Brownstoner. Then I have the nerve to tell others not to post about their personal lives.
And when someone calls me on my limited world view, I get irritated. It must be because they hit a nerve. If they hadn’t, I don’t think I would have spent any time responding.
Ooops. I showed my hand.
Perhaps I better get back to the pennysaver and keep my childish views to myself.
I hope no one responds with a haiku. I am not smart enough to deal with one of those.

I think stores like this do a huge amount of business online, which allows them to set up stores in places they find attractive and “hip.” Brooklyn has become a distinct brand, which many retailers find attractive these days. I’m sure they do the bulk of their business through the website.
“I like to make fun of other people’s spelling instead of changing my limited view of the world.”
Rather, I prefer to point out POOR spelling, particularly when used in a self-righteous post that seeks to ridicule someone for expressing an opinion. I’ve literally visited dozens of countries and personally interviewed thousands of people. I’m quite secure in my view of the world. Certainly secure enough not to seek gratification through childish posts that attempt to castigate someone whose views differ from my own.
I like to make fun of other people’s spelling instead of changing my limited view of the world. I need to get out more, which is surprising since I claim to be a reporter.
Frankly, I don’t find the accessories from them to be that exciting for the money, although, admittedly, I’ve bought some items for gifts.
I keep passing the JA store in the Village and wondering when they’re going to have a big “75% And MORE Off!!!” sign in the window but I guess they’re somehow managing to chug along…so many stores have closed or consolidated with other locations around town it’s kind of hair-raising! And in some places the numbers of restaurants that have closed is also surprising.
I like to spell “disdain” correctly.
Love him! And while I agree his upholstered furniture is over-priced, his accessories deliver a lot of decorating punch and color for the money.
I proudly announce my ignorance and distain.
