I have lived in the East Village for 40 years and there were never townhouses along that stretch of 14th St. The buildings which existed were called "taxpayers", a term used in the real estate industry as one story buildings to pay the R.E. taxes and make a little money. Originally put up to be only temporary until developed. In this case temporary was a very long time. There use to be a big hardware store (Krup's) and some inexpensive clothing stores, a 99 cent store, etc. Never townhousesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-89100442174532294942018-07-21T15:27:51.108-04:002018-07-21T15:27:51.108-04:00This is offensive and stupid - I would rather not ...This is offensive and stupid - I would rather not have this store in the hood.

Compared to the make-the-grimy-art-nice commodification that Williamsburg has gone through, this is nothing. Referencing CBGB is about as creative as using Central Park as an icon for the city as a whole.<br />Target, we only need you to fulfill our most basic consumer needs. Tinder for toilet paper, paper towels, and granola bars at half price. No one will find community in Target. It will never be a space for companionship.

I mean, they obviously think this is a "special" rock-and-roll neighborhood — according to their marketing geniuses — but the merchandisers don't see that way; they only stock items that we could just buy anywhere. Target needed to be here decades ago. Too little, too late. F-. Lancellotti Housewares, however, looks FANTASTIC. I was excited about a new Target until I found out it was BLANDSVILLE, USA.
