Classic food store on its way — but which?
Downtown: Gentlemen, start your drooling. That’s about all you can do right now, given that no one is willing to positively ID the “national chain” with close to a century of experience in the food trade that will be coming to the corner of State and Court streets. Comment.
Mister Bloomberg, paint over that wall!
Downtown: The city is seeking an artist to put a mural on a DUMBO eyesore. Comment.
A couple of lovebirds mugged for big bucks on the Fulton Mall
Downtown: A couple’s Nov. 18 shopping spree ended just about as badly as it could have, when five men attacked them in a Fulton Street store and made of with nearly $13,000 in valuables. Plus all the other crime news from Downtown, Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO’s 84th Precinct. Comment.
Banner bummer: Anti-hate signs pulled down in Heights
Downtown: A string of vandalism targeting religious groups continued this week, as banners hanging at synagogues and churches in Brooklyn Heights were torn down by some not-so-merry pranksters. Comment.

Downtown plan: Tyler Hospitality, the firm building a 32-story Staybridge Suites motel in Times Square, will bring a Holiday Inn to Schermerhorn Street, a thoroughfare that has recently seen a wave of new investment. Comment.
