Park Stationer’s on Flatbush near Seventh Avenue has gone out of business. A handwritten sign said that the rise in operational costs caused the closure after 25 years in the neighborhood.
The one-story buildings that housed Zuzu’s Petals, a Korean Market and Olive Vine on Seventh Avenue between Berkeley and Union before a fire that forced Zuzu’s and Olive Vine to move have all been demolished to make way for…what?
A Toys-R-Us has gone into the large space on Flatbush Avenue near 8th Avenue that was Blockbuster Video.
A new deli is going in on Seventh Avenue between Union and President Streets. It was a Korean Market briefly and before that…I forget.
The Rite Aid on Seventh Avenue and Fifth Street seems to be undergoing some sort of renovation…
i think VLM should try writing a one-woman blog (with no staff at all) before casting stones about detail. and the store is not just going to be any pet store, its a Petco.
The Rite Aid actually had a car plow into the side of it this morning (I was there moments after it happened). The driver appeared to be okay, though I don’t know if anyone was injured inside.
For someone who lives in the neighborhood and writes about it daily, you have a terrible attention to detail. The building on 7th between Union and Berkeley is going to be a pet store. Brownstoner’s had this news for at least a year.
The new deli is actually a bagel place on 7th, and it used to be a Chinese restaurant.
The space on 7th between Union and President is becoming a bagel place, not a deli. At least that’s what it says on the sign in the window…”bagel cafe”
And as it’s been written about everywhere, the space where zuzu’s was on 7th between Union and Berkeley is becoming a store called Unleashed, which is the smaller more community minded (organic) store associated with the PETCO chain.
What do I think? I think you should find sources other than Brownstoner!
