Fifth Avenue has had its fill of spas, fundamentalist churches, banks and prohibitively expensive women’s clothing—but a new bookstore would be fine and dandy. Or so say passersby who’ve lodged their opinions on a piece of paper outside a recently shuttered copy shop between Prospect and Park. The bottom of the retail wish list say it’s an interactive community art project brought to you by Park Slope CVETCH (the Committee to Verify Everything That’s Coming Here). Great idea! We’d like to note that Fifth Avenue has been sorely lacking a meteor merchant. Oh, wait. GMAP

  1. That Target store probably does gross very highly. Given the population density, that only makes sense.

    That said, the last time I visited my folks outside of our fair metropolis, the Target in their neighborhood was a frickin’ palace by comparison: clean, well-stocked, orderly.

    The Atlantic Center Target serves a good purpose but it really should try harder.

  2. Thank you, 11:58. And here is the pertinent quote of the article…

    “The Target store located in the Atlantic Mall is known to be one of the top three revenue producing stores within Target’s chain.”

    Love the I told you so moments on here.

    Rehab always spouts nonsense. Oh yeah, and I was stoned, but apparently being stoned and being wrong don’t go hand in hand. Go figure.

  3. I’m not a comic book guy per se, but I love to go into Rocketship books on Smith and I always leave with something. It’s true that booksellers in general have it pretty rough in the Amazon era, but art/comic books seem like a good ‘brick & mortar’ biz since they are easier to judge from a quick browse.

    I also wish that Burritoville would open a Brooklyn location.
