122 Pct Community Council Update & More

Last night at the 122 Pct Community Council meeting at the 122 station house a location in New Dorp got a lot of discussion. Ocean 3 - formerly Portofino Restaurant - is apparently causing a lot of grief for neighbors on the surrounding streets. (Reminds us of the problems the neighbors of Bistro had.)The NYPD assured the residents that the location is being closely monitored and invited those neighbors to return next month and report on the results.

And... in today's Advance is mention that the King Kullen (formerly Pathmark Supermarket) is closing creating a large vacancy in our neighborhood. Not good.

Then there is the new sign on the Frank's property offering various sized storefronts for rent. Sounds like a strip mall to me. Not sure I like that.

And lastly the Borough President is giving his State-of-the-Borough address tonight at CSI. We will have to read in the papers tomorrow about what he said. Guess there was no room at the inn for all the Civic Associations.

> Joe Markowski, President

  1. I've seen posts on one of the forum boards at SILive.com speculating that KMart is closing along with King Kullen to make way for a Target store. Would love to see a Target on this side of the island.

  2. That shopping center now has a number of large vacancies: Chevy's, OTB, Toy-R-Us, Hallmark Cards and now King Kullen. A few of the smaller stores are vacant also.

    I doubt a Target will open there in this economy.
