what chance does a business have to succeed if it can't even draw one comment in three days on heresparkslope?

There is so much neighborhood news right now, I'm guessing this blog is winding down.

Park Slope stoop has confirmed Crunch expansion into spot that was reported to be a pet store.

A new Gluten free bakery coming to Union and 5th in Uncle Louie G's spot.

A new cider/smore/hot chocolate place where People's Pops is.

Soup spot coming back to Uncle Louis G's on 7th Avenue.

also a new restaurant already open in anthony's space - mediterranean + pizza (tough combo but there's already an oven so when in rome . . . ) as well as a restaurant/bar for the bar 4 location - forgot the name but it involves the word "cheez" - not promising either.

The new spot where Beer Table was is opened now too. Same owner as Fonda.

And a huge L Train vintage has opened on Sackett.

South slope news is reporting that the bakery La Dolce (a great south slope bakery)may be closed for good

La Dolce was terrible.

Leske's, however is terrific.

Terrible? Whats with the over the top assesment of places on this blog.? Leskes is great as well but La Dolce had a better selection and much better hours. Not a lot of bakeries are open until 9 or 10pm

One closed and one expanded (Leske's from Bay Ridge to Park Slope).

BTW, La Dolce put up a sign over a month ago saying they'd be closed for renovations for 7 days. It's a month later, no renovations have taken place and they are still closed.

I don't like businesses that LIE to their customers. Don't care if they were open late, their product sucks and they closed because of it.

Whats the nefarious incentive for a business that knows its closed for good to put up such a sign? Theres a lot of hope wrapped up in an independent business. They close and they hope its temporary. They hope their customers wont forge them .

Maybe theyre lying to themselves but I dont call that lying to customers.

When you close your doors you know whether you will be reopening or not. It's a blatant lie when you say you're renovating a brand new place and then never reopen. It's a weird NYC pride thing where these people can't admit defeat and then make their customers wonder where they went. It's stupid business. If you're closing, say so and end on a good note, don't put up a note saying you're reopening in 7 days, that's idiotic.

Ooh they make their customers wonder! You need a business to give you some sort of closure? Its not like theyre closing and holding customers money/property.

A business and its customers are in a relationship. Not everyone sees clearly when they end a relationship. I doubt in most cases these businesses are intentionally trying to hurt anyone. What would be the point?

Doesn't matter anymore, they're gone. You'll stick up for any business as long as it's in the South Slope, it could be a store selling used enemas and you'd talk about how amazing it is.

No Im pretty sure I wouldnt cheerlead that.
