We noticed during lunch today that the Thai restaurant at 497 Atlantic Ave is gone! It’s being replaced by Pardes. The chef, Moishe E. Wendel, called it a Bistro and a “place to get a burger and beer”. I hear it might be Kosher as well. I’ll have to brush up on my kosher beers.
Here’s their Facebook page.
In a strange twist, considering the copious amounts of newly installed “Pharmacy” signs, it looks Ace Liquors is going to be a deli. I only see three refrigerators in the back, which makes me fear the worst: No beer!

To make the ending of summer even less sweet, Blue Marble is closing, leaving another hole in the Atlantic Ave storefronts. Us residents are now left wondering if the void will ever be filled and when it is filled, will it just be a god-damned dentist office or car insurance place? We need food!
p.s. How the hell did they grab a storefront for $1750 a month?

The city was going to close the public pool at Douglass/Degraw (although not technically Boerum Hill like the article claims). I think some protests and hot days convinced them otherwise.
“I can get my goggles and go underwater!” Wendy announced.

We live very close to Ace Liquors. So, when it closed we were pretty sad. However, the hopes of something cool opening up was in our minds. Yesterday, we saw the new sign which is probably more depressing than the closure of Ace Liquors. The terribly lame, misplaced, weird pharmacy on Nevins seems to be expanding and/or taking over the ex-Ace Liquors store front. There’s a Walgreen’s 1 block away. I’m still stumped how Ace went out of business in this neighborhood…
Saw this on my way home from dinner. I could only find this info on it. They were there “to protest the appearance of IHH terrorist Ahmet Faruk Unsal; Viva Palestina organizer Kevin Ovenden; and filmmaker Iara Lee at a gathering in Brooklyn tonight at 7 PM at the House of the Lord Church, 415 Atlantic Avenue between Bond and Nevins Street.”
I protest that church having a big parking lot I can’t use.
