What do you wish for in ProHo?

Bowling is generally played in an alley. :roll:

I would like to see one open here, but I doubt one would. The trend citywide has been for bowling alley closings.

Has anyone tried street bowling? It is where you set up pins in the street and you try to strike them down. Of course, you need a few people (someone to set up the pins, someone to get the ball, etc.), but it is a lot of fun. You just close off traffic w/ trash cans and yellow tape and have a go at it.

Respect.

For all it's worth - love your passion, Jack! Your humbility is warming too... :oops:

There is a very small butcher section in the back of the Key Food on Flatbush (Sterling. & Park). It's better than nothing. So far all I've bought from there was very fresh hamburger meat. I'm gonna try one of those stuffed cornish game hens one of these days.

I appreciate the tip, but I've been to the yuppie Key Food on Flatbush plenty of times, and that is definitely not a butcher shop. It's just the meat section of a supermarket.
Fair enough. I did say, it was better than nothing (on retrospect, I should've said "maybe"). I forgot to mention that I'd also love a real butcher shop in the area.
At the GAP farmer's market, I love the place with the spicey turkey sausage. And the produce there can't be beat.

Dude, you're going to make Jack have a seizure! :twisted:

Yeah. I asked around the met, key foods, associated, etc. and nobody sells human anymore. What gives?

El Carneviento is people!

A lot of these are taken from what other folks have said...

-bowling alley (bowling is huge in Mpls - big hang out places)
-bar/laundrymat
-independent and/or second run movie theatre
-24 hour diner
-Gap
-Starbucks
-professional sports team - perhaps an NBA team

(kidding on those last 3)

Straight up. A man after my own heart!

I would like a dentist that "caters to cowards," but the only one I can find is in Crown Heights. Good thing I technically live there!

I want a quality record/music store.

But, some of us go to a lot of concerts! And I just bought my first CD in almost 2 years last night!

Did the "wishing" idea come from last week's This American Life? Just curious.

I wish for a good Used Book Store.

And [wait for it] a Cupcake Bakery.
