• Throop and Willoughby Bed-Stuy Real Estate Picks 05/30/08

  The only downside to this apartment is that it is near Myrtle Avenue’s “Project Row.” The upside is that it is reasonably priced and it looks like a really nice space.

• Marcy and Lexington Bed-Stuy Real Estate Picks 05/30/08

  This place is not 6 blocks to the G, it’s more like 3 or 4. That’s the only real downside that I can see with this apartment. All that light pouring in through the windows is glorious!

In a cozy space on Malcolm X Blvd. that features exposed brick walls, Wifi, and a seating area with colorful pillows and cushions, our next neighbor can often be found chatting with customers about politics (she and her business partner are Barack Obama supporters), planting new flowers in the giant wooden barrels on the sidewalk in front of her business, and serving up a myriad of breakfast pastries, bagels, fruit smoothies, and lunch. Ready to meet a new neighbor?

• Myrtle and Marcy Surprise Closing on Myrtle

  The BP Amoco station on the corner of Myrtle and Marcy abruptly closed yesterday. I pass this corner frequently (it’s directly across the street from the Myrtle-Willoughby G train station). I always thought that the station was here to stay. This station was always busy–I can’t think of a time when I didn’t see someone washing or vacuuming their car, filling up their tank, or buying lotto tickets there (even at 3 a.m. in the morning). Children often used the air pump to fill their bike tires.
