Poor stevieb. Nobody cares about your inane pronouncements. We read the news. No need to copy and paste your off-topic rantings here.
Dave – Where can we find Lois Carmen Denominator? Might need her for the dangerous mathematicians opening party.
Seen 7th Ave recently? About 5 stores have closed up just in the last 2 weeks. This recession ain’t over people

The recession has ended for the likes of Goldman Sachs partners because of the complicity of the neutered politicians (Obama and Schumer) in promoting the wall street-washington partnership, at the expense of the american people.
The obscene bonuses they are getting paid are ill gotten gains and comes from the sweat and toil of ordinary americans who are barely able to keep their kids clothed or nourished.
Some new yorkers don’t mind because the money stolen from the american people goes into supporting housing values in new york and the homes they own in brooklyn. But that does not make it right.
I get most of my guys from Brooklyn nowadays.

I know I know Rob, you wanted a Bodega selling cigs for 25 cents and beer for a dollar. Guess what, that doesn’t pay the rent!
actually those kinds of stores are some of the few that DO actually pay the rent. excuuuuse me that some people dont enjoy boutification of entire swatchs of neighborhoods. facny boutiques have a tendency bring in the riff-raff if you know what i mean!
*rob*
AND, while it hasn’t been talked about a lot, there is a very significant trend happening in Brooklyn over the last couple years and that is that people are no longer going to Manhattan to do all of their shopping, eating and drinking.
They are staying closer to home (i.e. Brooklyn) more and more, so yes…we will see more “Manhattan type” stores moving here, I presume. Whatever that means. Makes sense…why shouldn’t they start coming to us instead of us traipsing into Manhattan to buy every little thing.
Brooklyn has 2.5 million people…it’s roughly the size of Chicago. Why can’t we have some shops of our own without people crying that it’s turning into Manhattan?
i laugh at all your comments ditmassnark but really, another one that had me howling. heeee.
a trendy little card shop just opened on court street and it’s actually quite nice. i’m glad to see some new places opening up. i guess the name of this place is a bit twee which may be causing a knee jerk anti hipster reaction but the idea of affordable custom clothes is nice i guess.
With retail stretches on Atlantic, Montague, Smith, Court, Vanderbilt, 5th, 7th, Flatbush, Fulton, Dekalb, the list goes on…
What EXACTLY did you HOPE would take this EMPTY storefront which would have been more useful which Brownstone Brooklyn doesn’t already have 50 of?
Seriously you can complain about it all you want, but ANYTHING is better than an empty storefront, of which there are more and more as we speak.
Seen 7th Ave recently? About 5 stores have closed up just in the last 2 weeks. This recession ain’t over people, so be happy something with life is coming in to these places.
I know I know Rob, you wanted a Bodega selling cigs for 25 cents and beer for a dollar. Guess what, that doesn’t pay the rent!
great! another trendy boutique to manhattanize brooklyn!
