Streetlevel: Flatbush Salvation Army to Close
After 18 years, the Salvation Army at 241 Flatbush Avenue is getting ready to close. A sign in the window, noticed by a reader, says that June 13th is the last day for drop-offs. The store will close for good one week later. Does anyone know what will take its place? GMAP

You used to see such goodlooking guys there, shopping for women’s clothing. What a loss.
i bought a nice kodak camera from here the other day for 10 bucks. It was a X-90 from ’72 that apparently retailed for 150 bucks then.
zing!
pattunia- my jewishness I can talk about. What happened with the SA in regards to that I can’t. 🙂
Dompsey’s moved to up on Broadway near Myrtle, right?
Good Riddance to Salvation Straight-Christians-only Army.
Drop of your clothing donations at the Grand Army Plaza farmers’ market, where there is a Second Chance Clothing & Textile Recycling van. Receipts are provided for those who want the tax deduction.

I’ve avoided shopping or donating to SA for years because of their intolerant policies. Basically, if any charity is religion based, count me out. Take your stuff to Housing Works. They have a location on Montague Street. Parking (even long enough to load or unload) is incredibly difficult there; they should grow and move elsewhere in Bklyn.
And yes, I miss the big Domsey’s too.
I miss Domsey’s on Kent too! A cashmere 60’s coat for 15 bucks, that was my store back in the day. And I hated the Sally Am on 7th & Bedford. Crappy overpriced furniture, I had such a hate on for that store.
I wanna know why bxgrl can’t legally speak of her Jewishness. That is weird, child 😉
I miss the old Domsey’s.
Ah, many a bag of stuff has left my apartment for this salvation army. First, park slope loses it’s last used book store. Now it loses a good place to dump bags o’ stuff.
BTW, has everyone here seen/read Major Barbara? If not, you have something worthwhile to do before you die. I recommend the old B&W film with Rex Harrison.
Cheers.
