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
Ha! When I was in college, I thought Ikea was expensive.

There is a GREAT used children’s clothing store on Grand bet Lafayette and greene in CH, btw…
Oh yes- Jamba Juice. Brilliant!
“Oh and there is a list of merchants waiting for space in the center…”
And you get your information from where?
The Target at Atlantic Terminal is THE highest grossing Target in the country.
Perhaps YOU do not find it pleasant, but clearly other people do.
Live in a bubble, much?
Oh and there is a list of merchants waiting for space in the center, so no, there are no vacancies.
Atlantic Terminal Mall may be fully rented (though I swear I saw empty store fronts the last time I was there) but that does not change the fact that it is poorly configured and not a pleasant place to shop. The Target has improved, ie there tends to be more merchandise on the tracks instead of the floors, but it could be much, much better. Go to a Target anywhere else in this county and you’ll see how dumpy it is by comparison.

“It’s called a stoop sale.”
Right. So next time my kid needs a winter coat, I can just wait until I have an entire weekend free and take him out for a leisurely 48-hour stroll up and down every single block in Park Slope, hoping that in that 80-square-block area and on that particular weekend I’ll find a stoop sale that happens to be selling a coat that’s size-, season- and gender-appropriate. Whatever.
Atlantic Terminal (Mall) is fully rented, and extremely busy with one of the most successful Target Dept stores in the country. It is situated over a transit hub (proper location), (mostly) maintains the street wall(i.e. pedestrian friendly)
Clearly it is serving the community and all of your elitest nonsense about it being terrible just shows how out of touch with reality you are.
