Despite lovely businesses like Olivino, Autour du Monde and 'Cure nearby, Fulton Street remains a real hole. Like this place for example, which is completely hollowed out:
(between Vanderbilt and Clinton)
Bizarre.
(Clinton Ave., summer 2007)
Noticed this car last week on Lafayette:
Are they filming? Scouting?
I love TV shows that film right here in NYC.
(Cambridge Place)
Not a peep out of this place. Are the plans for whatever it was supposed to be off the table?
(Grand, south of Lafayette)
Spotted this sign late night recently (north of Myrtle, maybe on Steuben?):
Has this always been here? Or is it new?
(Waverly Ave - the most festive car in the neighborhood!)
The new laundromat sign is up on Myrtle (at Hall):

Let's hope it's a nice place!
(Steuben St.)
I'm off to Vegas until Monday evening. Will try to post on Monday, but if not, back to business as usual on Tuesday!
Sorry this pic is so blurry- I had my hands full and couldn't hold my camera steady at the same time. But I couldn't help but stop and snap a pic of all the trash and decay here. The sale sign is still up. No takers yet? Wonder why.
I think this is new, as I haven't noticed it before:
OK, I just Googled it and found a bunch of places it's been listed, so maybe it's NOT new. Anyone go here?
And as an aside, does anyone have a good doctor in Brooklyn? Either primary care, lady doctor, specialist, etc? I love my PCP, but am have long grown weary of trekking up to her office on East 90th Street. What do most Brooklynites do?
I finally had the chance to peek in on the new restaurant on Fulton at Grand. It's now open, and here's the menu:
Not sure if this is permanent, but it looked pretty dead inside and there's no signage outside:
I like that a few brave folks are trying to take the plunge on Fulton, but with a limited menu, no signage and all that horrible construction there, I don't know if this place has a very favorable outlook.
Anyone been?
(Waverly Ave.)
If I wasn't so scared of bedbugs and if this sofa had not been recently rained / snowed on, I would have taken it home! Gorgeous!
(RePop, Wallabout)
Received this in my inbox last night:Today, I was walking down Lafayette near Waverly, and saw a small movie crew filming in a car. When I peeped in the windshield, I saw oscar nominee Paul Giamatti in the drivers seat!!!
He looks exactly the same in real life :-)
Then on the way back from Choice Market I saw the black model from all the Maybelline commericals (I forgot her name). I guess Clinton Hill is really happening!
Nice.
I went for an ambitious jog this afternoon and decided to huff it up to Wallabout and pop into RePop. When I got to Washington and Park, however, the street was blocked off with orange tape. I walked under the tape and continued on to RePop, which was open. Just past the store, the rest of the block was closed off with yellow crime scene tape.
Apparently, there was a late-night shooting at Reign Lounge (46 Washington just south of Flushing). No news yet posted anywhere. Anyone have more information?
(off of Myrtle)
(Clinton Avenue)
...want to call this number and tell me what the flyer says?
Washington, Wallabout.
(Fort Greene Park)
