Here's the New Whole Foods Rendering
After we broke the news yesterday of Whole Foods’ decision to go ahead with plans to build on a contaminated lot in Gowanus, Crain’s followed up half an hour later with a story of its own.

After we broke the news yesterday of Whole Foods’ decision to go ahead with plans to build on a contaminated lot in Gowanus, Crain’s followed up half an hour later with a story of its own. And while neglecting to give our post a hat-tip, the business paper did come up with some interesting original content: This rendering. Neato.
No one in brooklyn comes close to Whole Foods bread and cheese selection. Union Market and Stinky are arguably adequate but the bar will be raised.
I will continue to patronize Los paisanos for meat and Fish tales for fish & seafod. they are also closer and more convenient which is the somewhat overriding factor.
As a media person, I agree it is mannerly to cite sources, Mr. B. It’s also kind of tacky to complain publicly when you’re NOT cited. Certainly, any real estate reporter worth his or her paycheck should be checking Brownstoner when writing a Brooklyn real estate story. That said, citing a source is a professional COURTESY, not a requirement (in most cases anyway). I think you look small when you resort to whining about it. But hey, it’s your blog.
Sweet! Plenty of parking!
“This development will go a long way towards bridging the Caroll Gardens and Park Slope neighborhoods
ew who wants that? and become another bococa?!”
Anyone with a brain.
Rob try proving you are more than a troll, please cite 2 public benefits of not bridging these 2 neighborhoods for pedestrians?
Rob;
Simple question: what would you rather see happen on this site? Please provide a practical answer, meaning, as FSRG noted above, this was a contaminated site and the new owner would have to foot the bill for its clean-up.

– plans to build on a contaminated lot
will the produce be affected once it’s on the premises?
It’s common courtesy. Look at our post this morning about the Lamm Institute. We had already been tipped off to the fact that these props were back on the market before the Eagle story and the Curbed reblog of the Eagle story, but that didn’t mean that it made sense not to cite them; it’s not only good manners to link to them but it’s of service to readers to give them jumping off points to explore the topic. Obviously we’re not the WSJ or the NYT, but reporters from those types of places have to have their heads in the sand at this point in the evolution of media not to check Brownstoner if they are writing about a Brooklyn real estate story.
“this does nothing for a good amount of people in the area.”
Actually it does something for EVERYONE. It removed tons of contaminated soil and an empty lot that created a huge gap on 3rd St and 3rd Ave and makes it much more pedestrian friendly (although I wish they had put retail along 3rd St). Additionally a public esplanade is being added as an additional benefit. And apparently the greenhouse will be a resource for nearby students to tour and study at.
It is depressing how negative, self-absorbed and bitter so many of you are.
