Streetlevel: New Realty Office on 7th Avenue?
Brown craft paper covers the windows of the former fabric store on 7th Avenue and Berkeley Place in Park Slope, and a tipster tells us when the paper comes down it will be… a real estate office. Let the growling begin. Can anyone out there confirm?

“Is there a disco ball anywhere in NYC these days??”
In my bathroom.
One thought re: the new office –
7th Avenue is primarily a commercial strip for those of us in Park Slope, no? Sure there are a ton of new arrivals from Europe that I’ve noticed, but it’s not a tourist mecca, by any stretch.
I have to believe that even in this economic crisis, there are homeowners in the neighborhood who might be looking to take advantage of the market and trade up while prices are low. I know I might consider it, even if it means taking a loss on my current place. I also think that there are more than a few renters in Park Slope who would LOVE to dive into the market, should prices drop.
So I don’t necessarily think that opening this office at this time is a false economy. Certainly they missed the boom, but there is still business to be had, no doubt.
At least when the credit markets stop freezing up. But I don’t know…I feel like I’m receiving more credit card offers than ever before and I’m seeing a lot of people (maybe more than usual) checking out the listings on the 7th avenue real estate offices lately…like hawks swooping down on its prey…
Different decade lechacal. Is there a disco ball anywhere in NYC these days?? Maybe someplace near those Dyker Heights and Mill basin houses.
Biff, I emailed you earlier about the End of the World thing, but now I’m wondering if a disco ball is suddenly going to drop from the ceiling while everyone starts dancing to The Village People (11217, that’s what all gay people do, right)?
you guys slay me, “an old timey gay fabric store”
that is pretty funny.
Corclosures.
We got your back Biff.
Between Dave, 11217 and SnarkSlope, I guess that makes me the token straight guy. Dave, just make sure they cut me off after 5 drinks!
GWM, yup.
I know…shocking…right!?
