Slope Losing Another Small Bookstore
These are dark days for indie-minded Park Slope bibliophiles. 7th Ave. Books closed a few months ago, and just last week the Times reported that the Community Bookstore had fallen on hard times.

These are dark days for indie-minded Park Slope bibliophiles. 7th Ave. Books closed a few months ago, and just last week the Times reported that the Community Bookstore had fallen on hard times. Now comes word that another 7th Avenue bookseller is packing it in: Park Slope Books is consolidating operations with its sister store on Montague Street, Heights Books, and closing its Slope location this spring. Sad news for Slopers who like having options beyond Barnes & Noble. GMAP
I hate to be that guy on the comment section, but Park Slope burnout business owners have been living high on the hog for a long time. God forbid they cater to the community. So boo hoo that another cash only, doesn’t serve coffee, doesn’t have programs for kids, doesn’t keep inventory business is going under.
By the way I make a huge effort to spend all my money in local owned business. Businesses that refuse to accept the changes all around them will always fail, unless they own the buliding and in those cases the renters pay the price. So again the community gets the sh*t stick.
Bummer. Heights books in BH may follow suit with the crazy rents on Montague. I always wonder how that place stays in business selling used books anyhow. Place is a mess so even if I wanted something, I can rarely find it.
Bummer. Thankfully Book Court still does a decent business. Bit of a hike form my pad, but worth it.
Yep, I guess yuppies don’t read…or they don’t read used books. I live in the hood and find this really disturbing. Sigh.
“Is 7th ave going to become a suburban stripmall?”
No. It already has.
“Is 7th ave going to become a suburban stripmall?”
No.
Sigh. Seventh Avenue continues the long slide into overpriced uselessness.
