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?

I can vouch for CDog being one of the friendliest sweetest dogs EVER!
Very unusual for that breed, since I knew one that had to be put down years ago…bit too many people. : (
Floor for floor my numbers were about the same, Dave. Natural gas was so cheap last year that my level paying went down. The heat/natural gas spread should continue to be wide and it makes sense to do the nat gas conversion for people who still have heating oil.
DCB, there’s one of those crazy cat ladies now who I was telling you about!!! ^^^
[Hi eSIL!!!]
I use 2 window ACs in my unit…a separate bill. Not sure what it added up to but not much, probably a few hundred dollars. Tenants pay their own gas and electric. I have gas forced air so the common electric bill includes the blower for that and also the washer/dryer.
Wow – pissing contest between Christopher Gray (of NYT fame) and Minard in that Halsey Street thread.
I think the ROTD comments thing is a programming error, not intentional. Same is likely true of the bk.ly problem.
Good idea…I’ll have Momma Snappy find out if the shelters will do a trial run on the pooches. That could help out a lot.
PS, I’ve tried posting very non-controversial comments in ROTD, and they still never post!
I mean, I can withholding *rob*’s comments . . .
“Ordinary people are far better at lending a “helping hand” than the government can ever hope to be.”
I agree, DCB, as well as with the rest of your above statement. But, sometimes ordinary people’s giving is not enough, whether by larger economic circumstance or the nature of the program. Government should still be there to keep people from falling between the cracks in terms of aid needed.
Example: The Met Museum gets millions of dollars from well heeled donors, as does City Center for dance. A small, local museum for Hispanic artists in El Barrio is barely holding on, and a local dance center in East New York can’t afford to heat a small storefront. I have no problem with the gov’t stepping in to fund the smaller organizations, which would be totally ignored by both wealthy private and corporate donations.
This also goes for everything from local food banks to public health clinics, to a program that buys glasses for those who can’t afford them. Individual people can be wonderful givers, but so many are needy. The gov’t is a necessary giver, and we shouldn’t abandon people to the uncertain chairity of a public that is strugging itself. Even with the gov’t, so many people and programs are closing down.
