Two Trees: Trader Joe's Is Still Coming
As the old Independence Bank on Atlantic and Court sits empty, rumors have started to circulate that Trader Joe’s will not, in fact, open a supermarket in the building.

As the old Independence Bank on Atlantic and Court sits empty, rumors have started to circulate that Trader Joe’s will not, in fact, open a supermarket in the building. The latest such buzz comes from a poster on the Cobble Hill Blog. The poster says that she/he works at the 14th Street TJ’s and was told by management that the store gave up on the Brooklyn location after dealings with landlord Two Trees turned sour. A representative for Two Trees, however, says the chatter is a lot of hooey, and that the store will eventually open. “The rumor is, well, just a rumor,” says the rep. No word, however, on when TJ’s is actually going to set up shop. The natives are getting restless, Joe!

Oh What, What, What…you poor pitifull thing. Hate to break it to you but I am not rich, not by a long shot. I live paycheck to paycheck for the most part but thank goodness my parents got me an education.It’s not worth trying to refute anything you say because you aren’t capable of an intelligent conversation. That’s why no one has bothered. We usually find that when someone has to stoop to using slogans, obscenities and namecalling in the hopes of making their point, it’s pretty much useless to try to appeal to any higher brain functions they may think they possess. Although I was pleased to see you use “Ad Hominem.” (See, you can use big words!) Alas, you use them only to make the same rant and rave. You really must work on your technique.
But that said, you are quite entertaining in a oafish, doltish sort of way. Have you ever thought that you would sound a lot smarter and win more people to your point of view if you bothered to put two logical thoughts together and drop the insults? Or is it just that you prefer sounding like an uneducated fool? -4:02
The funny this is no is refuting my arguments, Just Ad hominem attacks. 4:02 and MM take a look at the Market http://www.bloomberg.com/ we lost 370 points. The S&P and Dow got creamed. Why? The Big Boy know that the jig is up. Our Banking system is in serious trouble. But, you want to attack The What while the Big Boy rape your 401k, Pension Plans and Money Market funds. This is the real world people the destruction of wealth.
I fell sorry for you 4:02. You are in a Mass Ass group. A collection of dumb, greedy and stupid people that will ruin America.
The What
Someday this war is gonna end….
What, I started reading this site because I have a long standing love of old houses and architecture, and am renovating my house mostly by myself, because I am not a member of the monied class. I have no interest in becoming anything in the real estate world other than a hard working person trying to hold onto what I have, in an exceedingly difficult world. I am probably almost as cynical of what goes on in the halls of power as any here, but since I can’t afford to pack up and move to my own island offshore somewhere, I am stuck with the gov’t here, and figure that participating in it, as a tax paying citizen is to my advantage, not to mention my obligation, as a citizen.
Now if that makes me fluffy, then put a bow on my head, and call me Fifi. The problem with your doom and gloom is that too many people get hurt in the crash. I’d really rather that didn’t occur for a whole lot of reasons. So I will continue to vote for those who can possibly avert your shitstorm to come, and I will try to do my best to weather that storm, and protect my family and those around me. What else is there?
MM- don’t get your knickers in a twist. First of all the What has no admirers- he is writing those posts himself.
Secondly, poor Mr. What is incapable of voting because he doesn’t have the brains to learn how to pull the lever. He could do a paper ballot but that implies some sort of actual reading comprehension- again, highly doubtful, judging by what I’ve seen in his posts on Brownstoner.
Thirdly- Voting is a privilege that the What obviously cannot properly exercise because he simply doesn’t understand our system of government, nor does he want to take responsibility for anything other than posting obscenity laced rants on the internet.
You should feel sorry for him. Anyone whose life is that limited emotionally, intellectually, and socially is more a candidate for pity than anything else. Don’t waste your time trying to have any kind of dialogue with him- he’s incapable of it. You’d have a better chance of discussing philosophy with a gerbil.
And now I’m sure we will be treated to yet another pavlovian response from everyone’s favorite rabid mongrel.Have at it What- you’re so predictable (and boring).
1:03, I am stealing ShitTwit
MM There is no solution. You live in a system that the rich are raping the poor. This system has been going on for years. You can write your nice fluffy shit but, at the end of the day our system is fucked because people believe the lies and the deception. I’m a foul mouthed lunatic that knows what going on. Why don’t you go and sell reverse mortgages to Seniors because, you have a interest in inflating this Housing Bubble. Here is the solution, Bring on the crash!!! Let this shit go to hell! It will have a cleansing effect and the greedy can get punished. We can go back to saving money and living within our means. 700k for a 2 Bedroom Condo with over 4000 a month is cost???!!! Yeah, that is going to end well.
The What

I’m quite capable of thinking for myself. You, however, are not capable of reading comprehension. I stated that I know the system is a wreck, and gov’t hasn’t been “for the people” since the ink dried on the documents. That is not the point.
However flawed, I,(and you) still have the right to get on a public forum like this and complain about it, without too much worry that we’ll disappear tomorrow – yet. That’s because we still have the right to participate in the choosing of our leadership, unlike Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Tibet, much of Africa and Asia, and frankly, half of the world.
You can rant and rave like the foul mouthed lunatic you are, with all of your disciples cheering you on, all you want. There is a huge difference between simply foaming at the mouth, and saying or doing something that makes a difference. In all your raving, you have never once offered any kind of solution to real problems, other than adding a couple of retarded made up words to the vocabularies of your admirers.
If all you can come up with in the course of intelligent discourse is to tell me to go fuck myself, you’re certainly less than original, certainly less than a prophet, and certainly more of a nutball, than ever.
“Sorry, What, you are wrong on this one. It might not be much, but it is all we have. We better use it, or lose it.”
MM you are a fucking bag of hot wind! Where in the last 40 years our leaders made a difference??!! Democracy is a fucking joke! It’s a system set up to benefit a few people, the ones on top! You (people) have no fucking voice because your government was HIJACKED. Example: 2 years a poeple voted for the Dumbacrots to impeach that fuck Bush. What did they do??!! They gave him MORE money and MORE solders to kill!! No Impeachment life is good and more money for the Military Industrial Complex. WAKE UP PEOPLE!! Stop watching American Idol and read The Wealth Of Nations by Adam Smith. Learn to fucking think for yourself instead of watching CNN. THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MM Go fuck yourself you retarded mother fucker!!!!!
The What (back in form)
Someday this war is gonna end……..
I would be the first to agree that many, if not most, of our so called political “leaders” are deeply flawed, both personally and politically. I would also say that our system is probably permanently skewed towards rewarding and working for the goals of obscenely rich corporations and individuals. Idealists who get elected with a mandate of change soon find out the reality of Washington politics. The whole thing is enough to make you want to opt out in disgust.
BUT – that’s what they want you to do, give up your vote and your voice. Too many people have literally died to assure that I can vote. I’m not going to turn my back on their sacrifice. You don’t have a right to bitch if you haven’t voted. Even if everyone sucks, and the choices are between bad and worse. Look what we got for the last 8 years because too many people just stayed home.
Sorry, What, you are wrong on this one. It might not be much, but it is all we have. We better use it, or lose it.
