A community group calling itself Green Beans Not Walgreens is organizing a protest on Wednesday as tensions rise because Walgreens will be replacing Windsor Terrace’s just departed Key Food supermarket.

The closure of Windsor Terrace’s Key Food leaves the neighborhood without a single full service grocery store.

Windsor Terrace is generally a quiet place. A neighborhood known for its civil servants, police and firefighters, in the last decade has gentrified to include Park Slope type families (whatever I mean by that).

Clearly, this issue has radicalized locals and three hundred residents filled a local church for an anti-Walgreens meeting.  Support your Windsor Terrace neighbors with their great slogan: Green Beans Not Walgreens. A bunch of local pols will be in attendance, including Assemblyman James Brennan, Borough President Marty Markowitz, Councilman Brad Lander, and Windsor Terrace Alliance.

Gotta love it.

Who: Green Beans Not Walgreens (community group), Assemblyman James Brennan, Borough President Marty Markowitz, Councilman Brad Lander, and Windsor Terrace Alliance.

When: Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 10 am.

Where: Site of soon-to-open Walgreens, 589 Prospect Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218
