I know that I never felt as much a part of the Fort Greene / Clinton Hill neighborhoods as since I’ve had Cameron – mostly because I spend so much time walking the streets, playing in the playgrounds and parks, and meeting my neighbors. Anyways, that’s why I do posts about neighborhood news – because I know most of my readers live in this part of Brooklyn, and I think they want to know whats going on in their ‘hood….
I was walking today down Myrtle to go visit the Pratt Post Office and I saw two new businesses opening – both are going to be Grocery options with Organic Items – one smaller than the other.
Two New Grocery Stores for Myrtle Ave. Bring it on!
You can learn more about them on the Myrtle Avenue Brooklyn Partnership website. The store opening in the Walgreens Building (375 Myrtle Avenue between Clermont and Adelphi) is going to be opened by people who run a few Organic and produce markets on Fulton. The smaller grocery, Mr. Coco says on the awning that it will be open 24 hours – that could be interesting. It is located at 414 Myrtle Ave. I wish them both luck! And I hope the quality of the food is good – we could sure use that!
Now, on to the Post Office. As you may know the Pratt Post Office is closed for repairs. I finally got a note in my mail about it! I went today to the Mobile Unit to pick up my P.O. Box Mail. There are two Mobile Unit trucks parked at the Post Office during the hours of 9-4 M-F and 8-1 on Saturday.
Skip the Mobile Unit on Myrtle and head around the corner for some real service!
The truck out front only sells stamps – so don’t bother waiting in line there for anything else. There is another truck parked in a small alley on the side of the post office which handles giving out the packages and the P.O. Box Mail. Be sure to bring your ID if you need any of those items!
