Double D Pool Stays Open!

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.

Ex-Ace Liquors Becoming a Pharmacy? [Atlantic Ave]
by Matt
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…

Protesters Outside Salvation Army [Atlantic Ave]
by Matt
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.

Ex-Ace Liquors Rented, Being Renovated [Atlantic Ave.]
by Matt
Ace Liquors was on the corner of Nevins and Atlantic. See below for the only, really crappy shot I could get of the in-progress interior. No clue what their doing. Based on the floor and that platform, my guess is liquor store or mini-deli but I don’t know why they’d have to gut reno an existing liquor store to make a similar looking one.

Stan’s Place Reopens as Rothschild’s [Atlantic Ave.]

The newer, browner interior. The upstairs, which used to seat diners, is now a lounge with some couches. The skylight has been painted brown so no more natural light.

I previously noticed Stan’s was being renovated – now it’s Rothschilds? Stan’s website says to watch out for the reopening this week. Hoping Stan can afford to renovate the website as well. (i.e. see website title “stanspalce”)
