Still No Takers For Big Green Space on Baltic
It ain’t easy being green. When we last heard from the Green Giant of Baltic Street back in September, the newly constructed commercial space was still sitting empty.

It ain’t easy being green. When we last heard from the Green Giant of Baltic Street back in September, the newly constructed commercial space was still sitting empty. Yesterday Lost City checked in with the wallflower and, sure enough, it’s still available. The blog takes issue with some of the marketing verbiage though. Rather than calling it “the most architecturally alluring storefront in Cobble Hill,” as the listing from Vespa Reality does, the blog suggests a rewrite: “I’ll give them this: It’s the most architecturally singular storefront in the neighborhood.” The blog also offers up a couple of more reasons why the space hasn’t found a taker yet: “It must be a bitch to heat in the winter and probably becomes a sauna in the summer. Not to mention the window-washing bills.”

Seems like a perfect space for a bodega so that they can line up all the dishwashing soap and laundry detergent along the windows.
Actually I want to live here. I will put everything I own on the walls, and install one of those sliding library ladders to whell about the space. i will hang my bed from the ceiling.
Actually the shape is similar to Sugar, that cafe that went up on the corner of Houston and Allen, or somewhere thereabouts. Long and narrow, with high ceilings. I remember before they leased I thought, nothing could possibly work there. Then under construction I thought, they will never make the space work. That was three years ago and it looks great and is always busy. So I say cafe. You can never have too much coffee.

I was thinking gallery too, martis.
i walk by this place all the time and for the life of my cannot understand what kind of business would fit in this space. the usable floor space is actually not very big as its kind of long but not very deep. it’s proably twice as high as deep. maybe a gallery? don’t think they’ll get the rent going that direction.
“i also don’t like christians, jews, catholics, or muslims!”

gah. it just occurred to me that my last comment came out totally off from what i intended. i should have just stated i had all organized religion type stuff.. not the people themselves.

Please do tell us what it is on your visits to Europe you hated so much.
you dont have to go somewhere to know you dont like it, or the the culture. i also don’t like christians, jews, catholics, or muslims! but i dont have to go into any of their places of worship to know that. so your argument is idiotic. i also know i dont like to eat dog. have i ever eaten a dog? no
