97-South-Portland-0708.jpg
South Portland Avenue is getting a new addition. At 97 South Portland, between Lafayette and Fulton, a five-story residential building was just approved on the site of a former garden center. (This is not the same block of South Portland that won the best block award from TimeOutNY a couple of years ago.) Given that the total height of the structure is 48 feet, don’t expect the kind of ceiling heights typically found in this part of town. (This site falls outside of the Fort Greene Historic District. Unfortunately.) In fact, based upon this architect’s other projects, it doesn’t seem like you should expect much at all. Let’s hope our pessimism is misplaced. GMAP P*Shark DOB

  1. I haven’t seen the plans for this site yet, but I will miss Gardell’s Garden shoppe. I bought many things there over the years. Does anyone have a link that can show us what this place will look like, please?

  2. Did one the bold text people post that awful, rather lewd, comment as a guest in grey text just to prove something?

    I hope Brownstoner will block a number of these current bold text participants. Biff was funny at first a couple of months ago but is just useless now.

    The fake “what” (who, though able to string a decent sentence together) is tiresome in his apparent desire to take on the guise of The What (who hasn’t posted for quite some time)…

    The back-and-forth between the bold text people today has generally been deplorable excepting Aussie and a couple of others. The people using the blog as a chatroom need to go (get blocked by the site admin).

  3. Anyone see that story in the Daily News yesterday about the British 19-year-old who had a bat stuck in her bra and didn’t know it? She is a 34FF cup.

    Can you imagine titfucking her? That would be so awesome.

  4. OK, bxgrl. I have to admit that I appreciate your apology and I will stop commenting on your comments. Truce? (This doesn’t mean Dave and Biff are off the hook.)

  5. don’t we know. I will apologize for my contribution to it but it’s tough to try to post and get ripped just for posting. Another reason to institute a more secure log in for usernames so no spoofing allowed.
