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.”

how was i disagreeing with you about the smoke? that was not taking the opposite opinion. all i said was that people sitting in that thingie might look at you with a jaundiced eye if you lit up! that happens!! i did not see the ashtray until you pointed it out! and even with the ashtray there im sure some snootbag will still give you the stink eye, but with you who knows why, im sure there’s a million reasons for them to that probably has zero to do with you smoke your virginia slim!
*rob*
I like 11217 AND *rob*. Why must we choose sides?
I don’t always agree with *rob*, since I love Europe and parks and travel (speaking of which, 11217, you totally dissed my Buenos Aires comment to you earlier) and peacocks (no homo) and many of the other things that *rob* disdains. But he’s often incisive and always hilarious. And I just don’t understand why people who don’t get *rob* or simply don’t like *rob* don’t just IGNORE *rob*!!
BTW, 11217, *rob* disagrees with me often enough, and sometimes goes back at me, and when he does, I hold me own and go right back at him if I think he’s wrong. We’re still friends (even though he dumped a drink on me ;-).
Jessi,
Rob has a dog.
Dogs should be allowed to go run around and see some greenery if they live in a big city and not miss out on this experience because their owner hates boring yuppie picnics.
It’s absolutely funny to me that you would put me into a box of being a yuppie because I don’t like hot dogs made of crushed rat bones (a joke, obviously, but you get my point) and a couple other things which you’ve deemed yuppified. I guess being open minded doesn’t apply to yuppies though (which is like half the city). But I digress.
I can’t imagine a single person I know who would call me a yuppie. A hippie perhaps, but yuppie? That’s a new one.
Some people MAKE opportunities for themselves and others complain that they’ll never have them.
jessibaby,
I’m sending over an Austrian hot dog to thwack 11217 with.
Thwack!
You know what Rob. You JUST did exactly what Cobble and I are saying in the other thread.
Because I said something about having a smoke and a coffee you said…no way you’ll get the evil eye if you smoke there.
And then sure enough, one comment later you realized there was an ashtray there when I mentioned it.
You just wanted to disagree with me because it was me. If anyone else had said it was a nice place for a smoke and a coffee, you wouldn’t have been so quick to jump down their throat.
Guilty as charged re: Rob’s cheerleader, I think he’s hilarious and ORIGINAL. My thing with you is your holier-than-thou attitude and your appreciation for all things that fit into that neat little bow yuppie bow. And don’t get me wrong, I love to travel and sample our world cultures 😉 but at the same time, many amazingly cool people don’t have that opportunity and still are entitled to an opinion. If I understand Rob correctly with respect to parks, he feels that it’s annoying that someone isn’t allowed to say I find parks boring, or, no, I don’t actually enjoy a picnic.
Wow, thanks, blowfish.

He’d prefer to form his own opinion and not just fawn all over some park or organic hot dogs.
cheer on!!! jessi gets it! 11217 just bites it (organically of course)
*rob*
oh, i haven’t been around the past couple of days, except a brief visit to attack fsrg…
happy happy hug hug. Let’s all get along.
On another note, I traveled all over and like organic junk food but I am far less interesting than Rob :o(.
