Cool, I’ve been to 9th street cycles I like the shop in the slope so I’ll def be stopping here when I need a quick fix when I’m not in my neighborhood. 2 questions any other good places between Crown Heights, Park slope and Red Hook where I can get my bike worked on(I ride to those 2 neighborhoods) and does anyone know of a good place to store bikes I’m off of Prospect Park west? No apartment storage or space. :/

I just ran across this post and I too am interested in the film when it comes out. I too am an “older” owner who inherited a family property over 30 years ago and still own it to this day. However, I was also instrumental in the landmarking of Crown Heights North and the CHNA organization. Ironically, white investors are now continually contacting me expressing interest in the apartment building that I do still own. It’s not just a building to me, but has deep connections to my historic roots in the community and the dilligence and hard work of my parents who have been deceased for some time now.

Believe it or not, the new owners just painted over the beautiful mural by Syl Williamson on the corner. I am absolutely devastated. Who would wake up and do such a thing. The green paint is certainly not an improvement…

A year before the property was torn down it was in fact not a bank with beautiful marble floors it was a department bargain store next to a fried chicken spot and if my memory serves me correctly there was a hair salon on the property as well. The bank has not been part of that property for a loooooong time. Just clarifying for those who would like to know the actual truth.

Comment on Effects Of Gentrification & The Grammar Police On Neighborhood’s Graffiti – “Who IS you?” versus “Who ARE you?” by Abeni G.

As clearly stated, if 3D’s is going through renovations.., it will be exciting and wonderful news to the community.

But, because 3D’s future has yet to be verified on any level and the permits filed are not for renovations, I can not write what the facts obviously do not support, no matter how much you may wish otherwise.

Hopefully, 3D’s will open with a gleaming new look and great menu as before, but until that can be verified, the future of 3D’s appears uncertain for the moment.

And what are the other successful restaurants do the owners of 3D’s own, that you stated?

If you do know, it would be wonderful information for the community, so they could frequent those establishments until the future of 3D’s is known.

3 D’s a long time member of the community and I believe they may own the building as well as several other successful restaurants in the Brooklyn area. I for one am looking forward to the return of 3D’s so that I can find a tasty take-out meal every once in awhile on a Saturday night! Until then, hats off to Park and Franklin for redirecting the negative innuendo implied by the article not to mention the condescending air of subsequent comments.

As I said on Facebook, a year before they tore it down this was the site of a beautiful bank with marble interiors and the works. They tore it down to create “the hole”, an appropriate name. Now they’ve covered up the beautiful murals (especially the Bob Marley one facing the Parkway) so it’s truly an eyesore. We would like to see a Crown Heights Museum on the site to preserve the rich ethic diversity in the area over the past few decades or something similar to what they did with Atlantic Terminal linking the busy underground subway system to above ground shopping.

Yes, the vacant lot at 341 Eastern Parkway a very curious case indeed.

I could not receive verification from either broker if they were handling the property or not.

Though if TerraCRG is still truly the sole broker for the property, it seems very odd that they would let their competitor, Pinnacle Realty, post two huge signs on their listing.

As this definitely gives the impression that Pinnacle Realty is now the broker for 341 Eastern Parkway’s.

Yes, 341 Eastern Parkway is a very curious cases indeed.

I would love to hear from anyone who has more, concrete information on the vacant lot at 341 Eastern Parkway @ the NE corner if Franklin Ave.

Actually, I was told by Pinnacle staff that they now have the listing.

“Yesterday, Pinnacle Realty, has two huge billboards listing their broker, David Junik, as the one to call for information about obtaining 341 Eastern Parkway.”

No, they just hung some (unauthorized) vinyl banners for their business. They don’t have anything to do with that particular property. These are no different (aside from being bigger and uglier!) than the concert/party promotions that get posted on that corner.
