green-baltic-0110.jpgIt ain’t easy being green. When we last heard from the Green Giant of Baltic Street back in September, the newly constructed commercial space was still sitting empty. Yesterday Lost City checked in with the wallflower and, sure enough, it’s still available. The blog takes issue with some of the marketing verbiage though. Rather than calling it “the most architecturally alluring storefront in Cobble Hill,” as the listing from Vespa Reality does, the blog suggests a rewrite: “I’ll give them this: It’s the most architecturally singular storefront in the neighborhood.” The blog also offers up a couple of more reasons why the space hasn’t found a taker yet: “It must be a bitch to heat in the winter and probably becomes a sauna in the summer. Not to mention the window-washing bills.”

  1. And with a few accoutremonts, this is a lovely space to hold a wedding.

    Seriously- i love the look of the space. A friend has a similar windowed expnse at her store in Manhattan. I’d put up very contemporary canvas shdes up top- it would be great for an art gallery space but the sunlight might be too much for works of art unless the windows can be uv resistant.

  2. Kens, you’re just pissed there was no post outside of Floyd to tie your goat to.

    I was actually pissed that no one was willing to have goat rides :o(.

  3. “I caved last year and went to meet everyone and have regretted ever since but now I am stuck with all these losers :o).”

  4. “Biff…I’m trying to overcome my fear of meeting everyone. I will try to gain the strength by the 21st!”

    Seriously, that would be great. I really think you’ll have a whole new appreciation for the “regulars” as we will have for you.
