Not to perpetuate a rumor but....Trader Joe's on Washington Ave??

I have decided to believe that if TJs is not coming to Washington, then it MUST be because it will be moving into the Bedford-Union Armory. Which is closer to where I live, which makes me even happier. Am I delusional? Maybe. But it gives me comfort.

I think a great use for the Bedford-Union armory would be to house a Trader Joe's. Because I think it is such a great idea, I am really hoping that it will come to be. There is no information from the Bedford-Union Armory, though, so that gives me freedom to dream and not give up hope for a TJ's in the Prospect Heights/Crown Heights area.

I'd be thrilled with a YMCA as well!

It has a definite Seinfeld quality, in that people are letting their desires influence what they think is going to happen, while ignoring contrary information.

I can only imagine the accusations that would be hurled at a politician who stated how he made the armory a Trader Joes because it provides a social good.

Be still my heart! Lolz

And a coffee shop. Never forget the coffee shop.

It will also have free daycare, like IKEA.

This way, mothers can drop their kids off at the daycare, and then take literally hours to decide which cheeses they would like to buy, to maximize the time they are free from their children.

I have also heard that it will be giving away coupons for affordable housing. These coupons allow anyone who would like to pay less for housing to do so, without having to enter pesky lotteries. And, the housing that you receive will be exactly the same as the housing provided to people who pay thousands more and have had far more fortunate lives.

It will be awesome.
