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
“How about a second-hand kids clothes/toy store?”
It’s called a stoop sale.

12:29: Atlantic Mall is a 8-minute walk away. They have an Old Navy, a Target, a Marshall’s, a Daffy’s and a Burlington Coat Factory. All cheap places to buy clothes. Surely the neighborhood doesn’t need another cheap clothing chain store.
There’s a great bookstore on Bergen between 5th Ave and Flatbush, it used to be called Adam’s Bookstore, it’s called something like Unnameable Books now. People should go there instead of voting for another one a few blocks away.
How about a second-hand kids clothes/toy store? The only thrift shop for kids that I know of is Jane’s Exchange in the East Village. Surely the stroller mafia could use one in the Slope.
12:05 PM, I’d just be happy with a GAP or Old Navy, where I can buy relatively inexpensive T-shirts and/or jeans without having to schlep all the way to Atlantic Avenue. I can’t afford Brooklyn Industries or Something Else on 5th. And no, I do not want to buy second-hand clothes at Beacon’s Closet.
How About GORILLA COFFEE CLEANS THEIR SIDEWALK. That would be nice. Or Victor changes the color of his buildings that blue is ugly. Other than that bookstores are kind of worthless.
Most of the people begging for a book store will still buy their books online or in BN. A bookstore will close within a two years. Lets be realistic.
12:05 – 11:53 here. I’ve been meaning to try Al Di La, but it’s always looked a little La Di Da. I’ll give it a whirl.
CHEESE!
Delicious, fatty, stinky, unpasteurized cheese!
Bakeries are nice, too.
