time to say nighty nite, ms. potter :-)

We liked Hunan Wok. It just had a hand-lettered "closed" sign in the window one day, and then it was gone. Probably some overpriced place we can't afford will open in that space. Bummer.

maybe i'm thinking of a different place, as usual. the place i'm thinking of was in south slope. it may still be there, i threw out all the menus so i don't remember

There's now an awning up for your standard corner store, presumably selling old vegetables, milk, beer, ice cream and chips.

i'm THRILLED about the new "park slope farm" i believe it's called.

we desperately need a nice bodega on this stretch of 7th which is open all night.

so much better than the absolutely crappy chinese place which was there before. horrible food and VERY unclean place.

I'm just curious, belzjm, so please don't take offense at my question. Is there any new store that's opened up in the Slope that you aren't thrilled about?

then what's the name of the place that used to be 5 doors south of red hot?

No clue

i would never be happy with a cell phone store, real estate office, atm, or most national chains.

i DO however get excited about stores opening so that empty storefronts don't sit empty in the neighborhood.

especially a 24 hour bodega, of which we have nothing like this anywhere around my area of the north slope near 7th avenue.

don't take this the wrong way, but is there anything you DO get excited about?

I get excited about very different things, empty storefronts are the least of my worries. I got excited when the stray cat that had been running away from me for months finally started using one of the winter shelters behind my building. I got excited when no one in my building died from the CO leak we had a few weeks ago early on a Sunday morning when most everyone was asleep. I was especially excited that no one else was hurt when that guy was shot and killed outside my building last Saturday. And I'm very excited that the store I work at is still doing okay in a neighborhood where other businesses are in trouble and closing down. The fact that I still have a job and am surviving in this economy is very exciting to me. A fruit stand opening up 2 blocks away from another fruit stand in a neighborhood filled with them doesn't excite me very much. Maybe it would excite me if one opened in my neighborhood where there are very few decent fruit stands.

belzjim, and you can as well. but we try not to insult you too much

i use this board for information, not for internet friends.

That's quite obvious.

next time there's a mention of a mediocre chinese store closing, i'll be sure to list all the truly important things in life i'm happy and excited about.

like stray cats.

i think you should just make a pledge to discontinue responding to my posts caseopele. i find your comments so incredibly negative and argumentative and will respectfully do the same.

So...does this mean no one wants to play checkers?
