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!

Our reaction to the return of The What makes me realize that we have a value-laden new narrative entity in our midst. How’s this for a movie proposal: A post-Crash dystopia, a ‘Mad Max’ for the credit meltdown, starring any of our square-jawed young Hollywood heroes, but featuring at its heart the hero’s grating yet indispensible guide to the Underworld: a cat-sized, hideous CGI gnome (similar in appearance, perhaps, to Harry Potter’s ‘Dobbie’) called ‘The What,’ and voiced by Gilbert Gottfried. ‘The What’ would ride around on the manly leather-clad shoulder of Brad Pitt or whoever, spewing inane/profane invective, until he would be occasionally silenced by being tossed into a burlap sack or something for comic relief before our hero blows away another mortgage banker living the life of an underworld outlaw king in New York’s sewer system. The director? Terry Gilliam. The title? You know: “Someday This War…”
I had TJ enchilada for dinner last night. And I have the TJ burritos in my freezer.
As I was dragging two bags of TJs groceries plus a few bottles of $2.99 TJ’s wine, I was thinking, gee I don’t needed to go to the gym, the walk to the subway at Union Square and then from the subway home,
I’m getting a good workout.
It’s kind of sad for Brooklyn that the rest of the country has regular access to TJs (and Whole Foods) while it remain elusive and mystical, much like the Gowanus Unicorn.
When it does come, I recommend you try the burritos.
Good luck on that one 12:55, you ShitTwit.
I propose a ban on using (madeup) words like asshat and fucktard
I heard it’s going to be an Apple Store.
OMG, what a stupid thread this is.
When Trader Joes arrives will I no longer waste time reading these things? Save me, TJ, save me!
THE WHAT!!!!!!
Now I can go back to insulting you.
Inflation was over 4% this past year, with foodstuffs and oil pushing prices higher and housing costs partially offsetting them.
Hey, even that fucktard asshat The tWhat could have told you that.
Ahhhhhh. I feel better already.
What a difference a holiday makes for the What’s popularity. It wasn’t until he disappeared – and the recession began kicking in – that I realized how much I cherished him. I’m afraid it’s not going to be the same for him feeling all this love – he”ll have no opposition at which to direct his rage and will slowly become mild mannered and fuzzy hearted.
