This building was a poor choice for the waterfront. It could have been built somewhere without a view. The power brokers don’t care, they see all of brooklyn as a wasteland. waterfront? what waterfront? There is no ocean view in brooklyn.
Just a lot of poor people and chop-shops. give the peasants an ikea and they will rejoice.
Bring Your Own Blue Bags. They don’t give them out any longer. Can’t wait.
Make that the second poster. I love meatballs.
To the first poster. New York City consists of 5 Boroughs, Manhattan and Brooklyn being two of them. Do you even know the other three? New York City is not only Manhattan.
Only a company like IKEA would open AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. They’re so on the ball. A brilliant company, no matter what you may think of its location, its product quality, its taste. I just can’t get over the fact that — they’re opening EARLY.
Love it.
7 years from now. van brunt st. predictions? same traffic patterns? better? worse? more small business’s? more vacant storefronts? more yuppies? more hipsters? more hookers? always can use more hookers. another mega natl tennant?
now I know where I’m going when I have to move my car for an hour and a half for alt side street parking. I’m throwing the kid in the “ballroom” and getting a nice cuppa and apple cake.
big box car culture is invading new york city. that sucks.
