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
i live in park slope and I shop at both atlantic and Fulton mall.
but im broke so…
The stock at Target is missing because it’s been BOUGHT.
And you still can’t figure out why they sell so much?
Yikes…
All chain stores’ success in Brooklyn lay with its employees. Target has more employees who seem not to care about their job, their employer, nor the customers and the chaotic nature of that store reflects that.
Their stock is constantly missing or misplaced, damaged or simply never there.
I am baffled as to how it is the highest grossing Target in the country.
GORILLA COFFEE CLEAN YOUR SIDEWALK, YOUR ARE DIRTY.
I recently came to the conclusion that Atlantic Center and Fulton Mall were simply never designed to be shopped at by Park Slope folk. 11 trains go there 1000 times a day, and you can get to any store in the mall area without even seeing the light of day, yet it’s surrounded by an amazing array of “places to get run over” ™. Granted, any New Yorker worth his teeth shouldn’t be complaining about crossing a street, but a Park Slope maniac mom with her kids in the $1000 stroller might have some objections.
Although I don’t think she’d walk here anyway…
Also, to guest@5:15 – you’re totally right. As one of the non-white people who just shrugs and gets his shopping done, it never ceases to amaze me the number of white people I’ve seen in Brooklyn Heights complain about Atlantic Center. Pretty much the same people who I imagine complain about the mini-shopping district on Court with the B&N and the movie theatre.
Although I’ve learned not to buy anything in Target that’s found its way to the floor…
sounds like either jamba juice or design within reach are the more attractive options…
this is at the north end of 5th, 7:10.
already have gorilla coffee and ozzie’s.
Fresh fish please! There’s nowhere on 5th to get fish. Closest place is Union Market, and it’s kinda hit or miss with the freshness.
Another decent coffee shop in addition to Perch would be nice down on the south end of 5th.
