Slopers Sign On to CVETCH
Fifth Avenue has had its fill of spas, fundamentalist churches, banks and prohibitively expensive women’s clothing—but a new bookstore would be fine and dandy. Or so say passersby who’ve lodged their opinions on a piece of paper outside a recently shuttered copy shop between Prospect and Park. The bottom of the retail wish list say…
Fifth Avenue has had its fill of spas, fundamentalist churches, banks and prohibitively expensive women’s clothing—but a new bookstore would be fine and dandy. Or so say passersby who’ve lodged their opinions on a piece of paper outside a recently shuttered copy shop between Prospect and Park. The bottom of the retail wish list say it’s an interactive community art project brought to you by Park Slope CVETCH (the Committee to Verify Everything That’s Coming Here). Great idea! We’d like to note that Fifth Avenue has been sorely lacking a meteor merchant. Oh, wait. GMAP
3:22, you’re stoned. The Target at that hellhole Atlantic Terminal is supposedly the largest grossing Target in the country? Calling bullshit, here. Source, please. That shithole can’t even manage to keep the shelves stocked–it’s like shopping in Moscow. And even if it were true, it would probably only be true because of tax abatements or some other scam.
Fact: the “architecture” of Atlantic Terminal is hideous and the traffic fucks up multiple neighborhoods on every side. Blank, cinderblock streetscapes–very Superblock. Very Robert Moses. Deserves to be right next to the Atlantic Yards Effect. Amazing that the creator of this turd would be allowed to build anything significant in Brooklyn.
mmmm….
you had me at sweaty…
Geez 10:08, hose yourself down. Your working yourself up into a sweaty little tizzy.
Every suggestion here is wrong. What this strip of 5th ave needs is a good place to hook up a hose so GORILLA COFFEE can clean their sidewalk…other than that it would be good to open a place to sell garden hoses so the owner of GORILLA COFFEE can buy one and clean their sidewalk…
Is there any place that does Dim Sum in the Slope?
how about a housing works?
although i think it might be better up on 7th avenue…
some other option for used clothes besides beacon’s closet might be nice also. there is one way down on 15th and 5th and beacon’s is overpriced.
i’ve gotten so many good deals in the home section of that marshalls!
le creuset cookware for literally PENNIES on the dollar!
ANYHOO, back to the subject at hand, I’d like to see a *good* barbecue place on Fifth. Biscuit doesn’t cut it. BarBQ at Sixth/20th is tasty, but a bit of a schlepp.
I assume Target sells so much because it is easily accessible by a bazillion subways, and because we have low standards for customer service in this town. It is, I grant you, about 100 times better than that filthy, stinky Marshall’s store in Atlantic Center.
