I am glad these people are trying to do something. It is easy to post snide commentary on a message board, which is what most people do. It's a lot more work to get out there and do something. Go and meet people who care about the neighborhood. Maybe you can work on other causes together, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-32350160891943585132017-07-13T13:39:08.962-04:002017-07-13T13:39:08.962-04:00since this will be a mindless waste of time---why ...since this will be a mindless waste of time---why not kill two....---work their way to 14th/A and protest the new L entrance.....---then (since they are right there) protest the planned trader joe's!!!afbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342511797399979293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-63644665272031681782017-07-13T13:16:03.856-04:002017-07-13T13:16:03.856-04:00What a waste of time and energy.

The overwhelming enthusiasm on EV Grieve for the Bean that will open in the old St. Marks Bookstore spot on 3rd Avenue just goes to prove that the readers and posters here have never met a coffee shop (except if it is Starbucks) that they can't get behind and salute with praise praise and more praise. Is Bean a chain, is Dos Toros a chain? Of course we dare not criticize the Green Village Historical Preservation (those two words historical and preservation are barriers we dare not cross--by definition they are perfect and anything they propose is to be accepted on faith). Just tired of fake indignation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-70779797044028167132017-07-13T12:07:46.710-04:002017-07-13T12:07:46.710-04:00"that's one chicken who never crosses the..."that's one chicken who never crosses the road" Giovanni you are spoiling us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-66613552206906934722017-07-13T09:57:17.869-04:002017-07-13T09:57:17.869-04:00Now if only NYS will legalize recreational marijua...Now if only NYS will legalize recreational marijuana and Starbucks would start a small side business in their stores, nobody would complain.

But the Post will send some snarky reporter to do a hit job on the protesters, just like they did to Occupy Wall Street and every other progressive movement. I wish Tje Bean had taken this space but it's so overpriced that only big chains can take the losses before they can eke out a profit. I bet this Starbucks gets overrun by Crusties and laptop warriors who take up all the tables and don't buy anything and steal the NY Post off the newsracks. The Crustie Starbucks has a nice ring to it. Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.com
