The changing demographics in Victorian Flatbush are having a big impact on the neighborhood’s food market scene. On the heels of a new organic market opening on the cornering Cortelyou and Stratford a couple of weeks ago (and the Green Market opening this past weekend) comes the news, via a neighborhood tipster, that the Food Co-op will be buying out the Associated on Cortelyou and Marlborough. According to our source, Associated owner Leon Boyer is selling because of all the “damned yuppies.” What’s the impact of this on the folks in the area who can’t afford organic fare? Do they still have other options?

  1. Slope to Cortelyou,

    Since you don’t seem to be too happy in Victorian Flatbush, as you have pointed out everything that’s wrong with Cortelyou, why don’t you move back to Park Slope? I am not trying to be facetious, I am really just curious.

    Also I agree with the previous poster that Cortelyou Road is no place for a bank. It will impact the traffic and parking on the side streets. A bank on the corner of Cortelyou and CIA or a CIA location between Cortelyou and Beverley would be great.
