Thanks for taking my comments out of cont...@bow boy<br />Thanks for taking my comments out of context. If you think there is too many shopping opportunities in this area then how do you explain the big family run appliance store which closed on 14th stree, the lumber and hardware store on 13th, the Italian grocery store near 12th on A, Milo printers a 99 year old business on 12th, and many more that have closed in favor of IHOP, sports bars, and more sports bars. There is a need for more service businesses to replace some of what we lost in the Bloomberg years. It is unlikely that a shoe repair shop will open in this new building and yes it will get a bank branch for sure but as residents we choose or not to patronize whatever goes in the same way anyone with a soul will stay out on that cursed 7-11.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-56738477635600208752013-09-09T20:33:37.950-04:002013-09-09T20:33:37.950-04:00make way for an overpriced glass jewel cox filled ...make way for an overpriced glass jewel cox filled with yuppie douchebags.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-59722868516127570082013-09-09T19:13:29.671-04:002013-09-09T19:13:29.671-04:00Apparently the hub was put forth by Bloomberg so t...Apparently the hub was put forth by Bloomberg so that we can't see the filings as usual. I heard that someone has to go to the office, sit there all day and you my refuse to leave until they give you the files, and you have to being a flash drive to get them. It appears to be a new way to keep plans for big buildings out of public view and ease the way for developers to do what they want with no public scrutiny.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362859175287085919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-31267079915642861882013-09-09T15:47:01.361-04:002013-09-09T15:47:01.361-04:00The intersection of 11th & A went from being o...The intersection of 11th & A went from being one of the most mellow and quiet to literally being hell on earth. First, this endless 7-11 debacle which is coupled with the destruction of Mary's and the "luxury" monstrosity that is being planned to rise is her wake. <br />I have to disagree with kfbeau's statement, "but all that land was underused and now a couple of hundred people will have a place to live." It's not like they are giving these apartments to displaced families of the Hurricane but rather it will be the type of assholes who pay through the nose for cookie cutter pre-fab idiotic city living. <br />It's a bummer what's happened to this once quaint little section of Ave A. Endless construction noise with no regard to current residents. Fuck this, I'm leaving and not coming back. Looking for something better and it's not here.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-18742798872746949112013-09-09T15:05:17.951-04:002013-09-09T15:05:17.951-04:00"I prefer a decent building with some new com..."I prefer a decent building with some new commercial space"<br /><br />Seriously? What commercial business is this area missing? What can you not buy within 3 blocks of this place that you're not buying online these days. This area is lacking in nothing commercial. The over-saturation of businesses in the area just means that every 2-3 years whatever was in one space is sure to be something else. Such turnover is not good for any community. Why would anyone pray for more commercial space?bow boynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-10357099739451686342013-09-09T13:35:51.600-04:002013-09-09T13:35:51.600-04:00Wouldn't it be ironic if the church of sciento...Wouldn't it be ironic if the church of scientology bought the lot and built another church on the grounds... :/Mark Hand The Catchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880357758792913275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-1290925552910212212013-09-09T12:36:07.774-04:002013-09-09T12:36:07.774-04:00We have a year at best to deal with the noise, dus...We have a year at best to deal with the noise, dust and construction machinery in this and neighboring blocks. It would be nice if there were an 80-20% affordable housing here but it is highly unlikely since no "living" people were displaced on this property. I am not as down as most people are on this blog. I prefer a decent building with some new commercial space (without chain stores or restaurants please) over yet another sports bar which really brings down the quality of life in this neighborhood. Okay I will never get a taxi on the cornier of 12th and A after this building goes up but perhaps small businesses like the privately owned and run restaurants and shops will get more business from these new neighbors. I will miss the flea market and the church was a nice one but all that land was underused and now a couple of hundred people will have a place to live. If you hate people just because they may more money than you have then you should take a good look at your values.
