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.

I want –

a hair salon with people who know what they are doing
Diane T from Court Street
a fanatastic furniture store

a proper butcher shop. I don’t know of one anywhere in the slope!
Walking to Atlantic Mall and crossing intersections at Flatbush and/or Atlantic Avenues are NOT pedestrian-friendly or safe.
Atlantic Mall : Worst. Mall. Ever.
