Miracle Grill Replacement Revealed!

We’re off for the holiday today but this one couldn’t wait: Over the weekend a reader sent in a photo of the signage that just went up at the old Miracle Grill space at 504 3rd Street in Park Slope. As you may recall, there was some speculation last year that Chipotle would step into the breach when the upscale Mexican spot closed but that rumor was eventually debunked. A burger chain called Cheeburger Cheeburger appears to be the lucky winner. Hot or not?

Rob, yes, that is exactly right.
Rf, I don’t know exactly what happened, but Bishop Loughlin needs to find out. So does the NYPD. The kids in the school and the people in the neighborhood should not be exposed to drive by shootings that are a part of basketball games. Some body needs to be in charge.
just because a family can pony 8000 dollars a year to send their child to a school doesnt mean that the kid can’t be bad and into stupid shit. kids are for the most part pretty stupid these days and the glorification of ghetto culture is unfortunately, pervasive. an 8000 dollar a year school bill, uniforms, and being taught by a monk doenst really change that.

Benson, Japanese companies have a lot of things going for them but a nimble creativity is not one of them. I can say that the venerable sogo shosha or trading companies have been a bit flat footed with the new BRIC economies and shifting of the global trading pie.
Dona, unless it turns out that the shooters are from the school, I think it’s blaming the victims to restrict basketball games there.
Fram a recent issue of Harvard Business Review. Unfortunately, as a person who works for a Japanese company, I have seen this phenomenon first hand:
“Fifteen years ago, Japanese companies accounted for 141 of the companies and 35.2% of the revenues of Fortune’s then brand-new Global 500 list. By 2000 their share of revenues had fallen to 20.8%, and by last year it had shrunk to 11.2%, with only 68 Japanese companies making the list. During the same period, U.S. firms’ portion of Global 500 revenues, which was 28.4% in 1995, grew slightly, to 30%. Firms from the European Union and Switzerland, meanwhile, increased their portion from 31% to 36%.
Much of Japan’s loss has been a gain for firms from emerging markets. Since 1995 companies from the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) have seen their combined share of Global 500 revenues leap from 0.9% to 10.4%. But will those countries lose their edge in the years ahead, as Japan did? Or will they find ways to remain globally competitive and protect their share—as the U.S. and Europe have done?”
rf: It doesn’t sound like a ghetto school to me, not at all.
Of course not. It is an archdioscean school with a great academic tradition – Rudy Giuliani’s alma mater by the way. Christian Brothers a vernerable Irish order of monks. And those parents paid a pretty penny to have their kids sent to those schools. I said that in sarcasm, rf. But these are distinctions I find arbitrary. We should not be having this barbaric behavior in ANY school and if the brothers can’t manage to control the violence at the games, either don’t have the games, don’t have spectators, or have a police presence.

My personal retirement accounts are all invested like pit bulls. I haven’t adjusted them at all.
