Hi!

I'm a pretty well known person in this neighborhood. So i'd rather stay anonymous. I'm really curious as to the state of our community in relation to businesses and other issues that come up about CH/FG/BS

I'm not here to judge. But I think everyone would appreciate this kind of info.

1. How long have you lived in Brooklyn? Which neighborhood?

2. Do you work 9-5 or Do you freelance or both?

3. How many days a week do you eat out?

4. How much of your money goes back into the community?

5. Do you do buy clothing or apparel in your neighborhood?

6. Do you buy groceries in your neighborhood?

7. Do you own a pet? Would you like to see a dog run in your neighborhood?

8. Which national chain would you like to see in your neighborhood?

9. Do you feel like a little fish in a big pond or do you have the small town feel?

10. Which type of small business would you like to see in your neighborhood?

11. Can you name a business you've wanted to support but never did?

12. What streets do you feel least comfortable walking alone late at night?

Thanks and add on if you would like your questions answered!

    2. freelance

    3. About two, but I order in.

    4. Haven't figured it out. I try to buy local when I can.

    5. Yes, Goodwill.

    6. Yes, Foodtown.

    7. 2 dogs. I've been to the dog run on Marcy, but my dogs have more fun in Prospect Park.

    8. None.

    9. ? Is that question for newcomers? I'm just a regular fish in a regular pond.

    Subject: Re: Please take a couple minutes to answer this survey about

    1. 2 years/Crown Heights

    2. I don't work.

    3. 0

    4. $400-500 a month

    5. No

    6. Yes

    7. What ?

    8. I don't care.

    9. Fish can't survive out of water. Where is this pond you speak of? :-k

    It feels like déjà vu . You walk out and you see the same set up everyday. Everyone is on their mark. So I guess small town feel?

    10. Bakery. I want freakin' fresh cupcakes , cookies and pastries. I want to be able to walk in and order a birthday cake exactly the way I want. I want it to cost $26.99 -for a half sheet. Nothing fancy. Just normal yummy baked goods for a fair price. I don't want to pay $3.00 for a cupcake , or $2.50 for a piece of brownie.DAMN!!!

    11. No. Enough businesses around here get my money.

    12. I don't know. Whatever street is not considered safe , I guess.

    In my case , I'm not really out much at night , but when I am I don't really know what is and what isn't so I'd walk down any street at night and not realize that most people wouldn't.

    You're welcome.
