Mmmm...Toasty

There is this beautiful storefront on the corner of Grand and Myrtle. I was speculating on what it could become and had my very own wishlist going, hoping for something cool. Instead we got this:

Now I have nothing against Quiznos (except that I never thought the subs were that good, the whole "toasty" thing is way overrated and it's kind of pricey) but what a waste of a perfectly good location.

Ugh.

On the bright side, I walked past this store which is slated to open on September 4th.

"Who's Your Doggy", Premium Pet Food and Supplies, on the corner of Aldelphi and Willoughby Avenue.

Pet owners rejoice!

Neighborhood Wishlist

As the area gets better and more and more residential developments are being built, I still feel that Clinton Hill is missing a few good quality shops and services. So here's my wishlist for the neighborhood:

  • a good dry cleaner
  • a CVS
  • a Trader Joe's or a Wholefoods

I know there's a couple of small pharmacies and there's Karrots for natural goods but it's still not quite the same.

So what's on your wishlist for the Neighborhood?

[lesterhead's wishlist, in addition to the above:

  • used book store
  • garden shop
  • upscale florist/flower shop
  • most of all: BICYCLE SHOP. Ever seen the lines at the Prospect Hts shop on Vanderbilt for spring tuneups? This would make a real killing.
  • hip hair salon
  • Goldie + Mac store]
