D'Agostinos 7th Ave

I'd heard a rumor about Trader Joe's opening a location in Bklyn; during a visit to the 14th St TJ's last week, I asked the cashier if this was true, and she whispered "they're in negotiations."

That TJ rumor has been around a long time. I'd heard it rumored for Red Hook (before the IKEA project was finalized) and also for the brownfield at 3rd and 3rd where Whole Foods is going to build. Let's hope that someday the TJ rumor turns to fact.

I first heard this rumor over a year ago at my mom's local TJs in PA.

Are we witnessing (causing?) the start of a Real True Urban Legend? The Trader Joe's that is perpetually coming to Brooklyn but never quite arrives?

Bad suggestions all - especially the Trader Joe crap.

What this neighborhood needs is a good pet shop - especially now that the Brooklyn Aquarium (9th St) and the one on Union and 4th Ave are gone.

My fish are stressed, and there's no place to get Cycle or Ammo Lock around here anymore - gotta bike over to Petland Discount at 5th and 13th Street! Meanwhile, there's gill bladder infection running rampant...

triebensee, there is a great pet store called VC Pet on 9th street and 4th avenue (small, but great staff, super nice--- they would probably be able to order whatever you need... try them!

triebensee.. well if ya have fish you are shit out of luck.. no place in PS for those swimmers to get advice, food and expert life consulting.

I do vote to Vc pets.. Mike is the big man.. best advisor if you have questions re your pets... nofishes.. cats and dogs.. yes!!

There's a "Commercial Space Available 4500 sq ft" (or something like that) sign in the window of the space now - did BoA drop out of the deal?

Maybe the $8 billion write-offs in the banking industry will take the steam out of the bank-on-every-block trend?

Subject: Man, I hope so....

still praying for another grocery store to step in.

yeah, what about amish market.

i heard they were expanding!

At any rate, I'd encourage them to take over the sh*thole Key Food on 7th, if only bc it's closer to me!

My son goes to school in Amherst and I find myself stocking up every time I go up there. It's so much easier than trying to get to Union Square!

Wonder about the parking at TJ's at Clinton and Atlantic?
