Subject: D'Agostinos 7th Ave
This bit of news comes off the parkslopeparents listserv.Word from the employees at D'Ag (a big supermarket on 7th Ave and 6th Street) is that the company is closing the location on April 28. Does anybody know what is planned for that giant space, or how we can find out? (Anyone wanna go in for a giant playspace? A new preschool?) Or where else to get a whole store-cooked Murray's organic chicken for 4.99 (with points)?

Drano » The space will be split in half to house a cell phone joint and a realtor.THANK THE LORD!!!!11! At last, some help for our poor underserved neighborhood! How many times have I traipsed up 7th and down 5th for hours, looking, looking, looking for even a single realtor or one measly cell-phone vendor? Why has the Slope been without these amenities for so very long? Now, if only my prayers could be answered, and someone could split D'Ag into thirds, so the third storefront could be occupied by a cunning boutique selling ironic newborn-sized onesies for $45! I want one that says "RAMONES"!!

Drano » The space will be split in half to house a cell phone joint and a realtor.Phew! I hope they also put in an ATM or two.
Drano » The space will be split in half to house a cell phone joint and a realtor.Wrong. It will be divided into three units for cell phone and real estate companies and a bank.
veets » I live close to the Bear Den and since I am on the Avenue almost daily I have seen some really intruging stuff outside the shop and bought things from time to time. I can't say I will miss this business when it shuts down. Please... no shlock clothing stores that cater to jhs 51 students with underdeveloped bossoms!I always wondered if the Bear's Den was a mob front but I have to admit too that I bought a few things there after I had to downsize into my current place around the corner ... a little round table and chairs to fit into my bijoux kitchen; a bookcase; a nightstand that I use for a record player stand to store my old 78's in. Oh and a totally kitsch inflated ottoman with plastic flowers inside. As for the shlocky clothing stores, I have to admit to buying cheap t-shirts and the like at those places. I'm 49, but I'm still a 32A.
veets » Now I will admit to buying shoes for the summer in Payless.. talking about schlock!I love Payless! You wouldn't believe the compliments I've gotten on stupid shoes I've bought there. And I'm like ha ha, they were twelve bucks.
SouthSlopeSuit » Awesome! I hope they rent a few more huge high-rent spaces, so they can jack up my banking fees even more. What do people do at banks all day? The last time I went to my bank was three years ago, when I was signing my mortgage papers.I wonder that too. And why does a bank have to be so big? I don't get it.

bklynpetunia » Looks like the guesses above aren't far off... I'm no fan of D'Ag, but I'd rather have wilted produce and overpriced eggs than a behemoth BofA... http://gowanuslounge.blogspot.com/2007/04/park-slope-retail-bulletin-dagostino.html

Guess I'd better use up my gr33npoints pretty soon if D'agostino's is really leaving.

still praying for another grocery store to step in.8thandPrez » As much as I love me some Trader Joe's (and, believe me, I love em... just spent a bundle at the branch in Amherst MA this past weekend), I would be surprised, no, _shocked_ if they opened a branch on 7th Ave. It's just not their bag... they'd be far too much of a destination to go into a Brooklyn location w/o parking. At any rate, I'd encourage them to take over the sh*thole Key Food on 7th, if only bc it's closer to me!My son goes to school in Amherst and I find myself stocking up every time I go up there. It's so much easier than trying to get to Union Square! Wonder about the parking at TJ's at Clinton and Atlantic?
