StreetLevel: Rock On, Fifth Avenue!

In a sign that Park Slope retail has moved beyond mere fancy-rag shops and trendy eateries, witness the pending arrival of Stoned, a store that will sell rocks, crystals, minerals and meteors, according to its awning. A neighborhood source tells us the Fifth Avenue shop, between Prospect and St. Marks, is slated to open next month. And apparently meteors don’t come cheap: Our pal told us not to bother checking the store out until we make more money. Gotta dig the name, though, no? GMAP
5th avenue is rockin.
love all the new sh*t opening up along here.
way better than smith street.
You guys are so gentrified, you’re missing a potential point…”STONED”…much more could be selling in there than stones…come on guys – I’m beginning to believe that most of you posters are from Idaho…”the greatest trick the devil ever played….”
This owner has a real potential “gem” here if he can see clearly in NY…every ting irie man!
the sign is TERRIBLE, why does it have to be so ugly?
Stoned’s owner owns the buildings outright, and can absorb the loss of rent on this prime commercial space in order to pursue a hobby?
Oh, that’s cool! Better than thinking someone invested $ in a business that will prove to be financially “rocky”…. booooooo, did I really do that! 🙂
Better to think that the person owns the building and is enjoying a hobby!
Would never want to think of the business owner as being caught between a “rock and a hard place”…. awright, awright I’m going! 🙂
Stoned’s owner owns a couple buildings in the immediate area, and maybe the one that houses Stoned, too, although i’m not sure. so i think this is less someone’s crazy quit-your-day-job pipe dream and more a guy who’s financially secure enough to basically enjoy his hobby all day, and maybe make some extra money doing it.
Hey, don’t be hatin’ on the lez-beens! I’m just breakin’ their, um, balls. I love lesbians. They’re handy and organized and altogether more useful than lots of people, especially when a revolution is called for.
I think they should add stationary and cutting implements and rename themselves Rocks, Paper, Scissors.
Buzz? Drop the “bu” and you’re on the money.
