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!

    No assfuck! Inflation is running north of 10%. Boy this is going to be fun. Shit is imploding all around us. The Pigmen has unloaded their toxic waste into your 401k, Pension and Money market accounts.

    Now wait for the flash then, the explosion! Oh, Trader Joe blows cock will not be coming to Brooklyn!

    The What

  2. “15-20% – 2.85% its the same thing when you have an elementary education”

    Or if you believe the government’s “core inflation” figures. You know, the figures that omit FOOD and FUEL in order to make the economy sound better.
