File under: The more things change, the more they stay the same. The building that houses The Smith condos and The Nu Hotel finally has landed a retail tenant and it ain’t gonna make the anti-jail contingent very happy. As per a few different tipsters yesterday, a brand spankin’ new bail bonds business appears to be preparing to open in one of the new spaces. Can’t be good for hotel business. GMAP
does sort of interupt the “vibe” of the lux hotel and condos…I’d be annoyed if I lived there. saving grace (for the condo owners) is that this store is on the other side of the building. any word on what will go in on the atlantic side?
understandable that a bail bond place would be near the courts (downtown brooklyn?) but it seems like such a bizarre business to have in the lobby of a hotel. that is just so weird.
Thanks CG for confirming what I thought. But the anti-jail people will still try to confuse the 2 issues (dig to Brownstoner).
It had nothing to do with “bad” neighborhoods. They are located near the courts.
doesnt cobble hill still have lots of projects? thus it can still be considered a “poor hood”

“Bail bondsman are always in poor hood’s.”
As if Boerum Hill was a “poor hood!” Also, nice inappropriate apostrophe–always makes a idiotic comment better.

bail bondsmen have been in Brooklyn Height and Cobble Hill for many many years. Note: No bail bondsman has committed a crime or done anything other than run a business. A needed business.
