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.

A healthfood store would be great. Anybody have any clues what’s going into the old Brooklyn Aquarium spot on 9th street? It’s been going through a major gut reno and it’s a nice, big space.
I have to agree about Atlantic Terminal– that is one of the most hideous, unfriendly, tortured pieces of architecture in the western hemisphere, and I avoid it on principle
