Curious: What Happened at the Vox Pop Town Hall Meeting?

March 24, 2009

I didn't make it over to Vox Pop, the cafe, performance space and community hang-out in Ditmas Park, on Sunday afternoon but would love to hear what went on. Send a comment or a story.

    2. The short version is:
    As many of you probably know, Vox Pop, the coffee shop on Cortelyou and Stratford has been closed for a while. There was a meeting at the shop Sunday afternoon to discuss the problems.
    They’ve had quite a few problems over the past couple of months and have fallen into significant debt. They have reorganized and are selling shares in the company in order to raise enough capital to re-open. Shares are now $50 per. By lowering the share price they are hoping to make it more of a community owned space, as well as save the cafe. The new management, including a new board of directors, seems to
    be pretty sharp and committed to running the place effectively
    There is definitely a range of opinions on Vox Pop. I do think it’s an asset to the neighborhood and well worth supporting. If you’re inclined to purchase shares, contact Debi Ryan at debi.ryan@live.com Debi is now effectively running the place on a day to day basis. (Officially she’s the CEO and President of Vox Pop, Inc.)
