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.”

Guess I missed her nice comments, blowfish.
She’s been on me the past 2 days and I’m not quite sure why since I’ve never said anything nasty to her.
I apologize, but defending Rob in this particular situation seems ridiculous to me.
She’s..how you say…diplomatic
Omigawd 11217 why would you attack jessibaby? She’s the best– she always seems nice and interesting to me.
“Also, you need not travel to be interesting; and traveling, in and of itself, does not make you so.”
No one said it did. But people who travel extensively are not typically closed-minded. People who have never left the tri state area and claim to hate an entire continent…well you can be the judge of that for yourself.
Your problem is that you don’t realize that some people might ACTUALLY LIKE eating organic hotdogs and can taste a difference between that and a hotdog cart. Who said anything about what you’re “supposed” to like. Is there a rule book I was unaware of?
Prospect Park isn’t fair trade or an outdoor Yoga studio or Uniqlo. It’s a patch of trees and grass. Sure, I guess it’s possible someone doesn’t like trees and grass, but let’s not pretend hating a park (and seemingly ALL parks, by his comment about preferring plastic to nature) is somehow something to congratulate him on.
p.s. Do you ever have anything nice to say or are you just here to be Rob’s cheerleader?

I probably could feel it somewhere too if this space *were* a grow room.
Cobble- Awnings? Two rows? No way! Blech!
Can’t solar panels run or help run an AC and a celing fan? Like I said, you wouldn’t need electricity for lights because of all that unobstructed sunshine. Then at night you could use the stored energy for lights, and shut off the AC. Its not good to run AC 24/7 anyway, and you don’t need it at night.
“Snort!”
Another New Year’s resolution bites the dust!
“You hate freakin’ Prospect Park! Never in my life have I heard someone say they hate a place filled with trees and grass.”
11217, don’t you get it yet? Rob doesn’t like things just because he is *supposed* to like them. He’d prefer to form his own opinion and not just fawn all over some park or organic hot dogs. But, as Cobble says, he sometimes loses sight of his own argument and appears as simply a contrarian. Also, you need not travel to be interesting; and traveling, in and of itself, does not make you so.

Snort!
