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

Yeah not at all surprised. 

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 don't follow.  TJ's is moving into the Bedford Armory?

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.

Crownheightster I am really hoping for a YMCA or any other kind of gym in the armory. There really isn't any, other than small boutique type places to exercise in the area. Now if they could fit both (TJ's and YMCA) in the Armory. I will cry from joy.

I'd be thrilled with a YMCA as well!

This thread is so going to be picked up by a comedian and turned into a webisode.

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.

Not to perpetrate a rumour but....did you know that the armory will be housing a YMCA (with a pool), a Trader Joe, and a Duane Reade?

Be still my heart! Lolz

Don't forget free bike repair, and growler refills.

And a coffee shop. Never forget the coffee shop.

Will that TJ's sell wine like Two Buck Chuck?

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.
