God- April 30th was the last day for Heart of Brooklyn. ...they were funded to improve the area around the Brooklyn Museum, the Children's Museum, and the Library. Thanks to their work, and the gentrification that was swept all of West Brooklyn, they can no longer get funding to attract businesses and throw events for these areas.

I would like to see a butcher/Sahadi's/yummy things/cooking stuff store, like a Zabar's type place. Prime (ha) focus would be butcher, with a few more things to draw in people. I could not find a barding needle in Brooklyn a few years ago!
