Streetlevel: Flatbush Salvation Army to Close
After 18 years, the Salvation Army at 241 Flatbush Avenue is getting ready to close. A sign in the window, noticed by a reader, says that June 13th is the last day for drop-offs. The store will close for good one week later. Does anyone know what will take its place? GMAP

The Salvation Army is homophobic?
Good riddance, homophobic a**holes.
It boggles the mind that so many otherwise liberal Brooklynites support homophobia by donating or shopping here.
Somebody REALLY pissed off williamsburgguy.
“Does anyone know what will take its place?”
Probably a Pintchik For Rent sign. May it will say “Please” Rent.
The “blog” of “unnecessary” quotation marks

williamsburgguy – you missed the point. The sign says:
“Please” don’t leave donations on the sidewalk
not
Please don’t leave donations on the sidewalk
“Why was the please in quotes?”
Because it was nicer and more succint than saying “Don’t leave your f’n crap that should be in the dumpster on the sidewalk in the middle of the night so we have to throw it away in the morning when we get here. We are not the sanitation department and want to at least see your crap before we decide if we want to bother to take it or not”
rob- there’s still a big Sallie Ann on Atlantic Ave. At least it was a few days ago- don’t remember exactly which cross street but up above 3rd Ave. Try there.
My favorite thing about this store was the sign that read:
“Please” don’t leave doantions on the sidewalk.
Why was the please in quotes?
